What if you discovered yourself alone in the wilderness on the Overland Trail in 1857, wounded, weaponless, helpless? How would you react if, when you came to the following day, you found a young Shoshone medicine man and a cute Indian shaman girl tending your wounds?
Connal Lee woke up that morning to a new life as a white Shoshone boy. Homesick for his brother and sister, his circumstances dictated he stay with the Shoshones until he made it to Great Salt Lake City. Raised in the Ozarks, educated while pushing a handcart across the country, the intelligent young teen adapted to another significant change in his life.
Connal Lee entered a new phase of his coming-of-age journey, growing up, finding love, and finding his purpose in life.
The United States of America had declared war on the renegade Mormons and sent an army across the country to bring law and order to the Territory of Utah. The natives and Connal Lee found themselves embroiled in the turmoil.
To learn the part Connal Lee played in history, read his story today.
Born in Murtaugh, Idaho, Earle grew up on the stories of his great-great-grandparents, some of the very first pioneers and settlers of the Intermountain West in the 1850s. A few years ago, Earle felt inspired to tell some of his ancestors' stories. He didn't want to write a history or biography, so he began working on a historically correct fictional gay romance set back in the 1910s - which grew into the 1,562-page Discreet Trilogy.
Earle loves reading a good story and is a sucker for romance novels. His favorite genres often have a regular guy struggling to overcome adversity who somehow manages to find love and success in the end.
Earle lived most of his adult life in Manhattan and the Hamptons before customers took him to Florida in 1997. He has been in a loving relationship with his life partner and business partner, Jimmy, since 1979. They married in 2009 on their thirtieth anniversary. They still live together – enjoying their work and sharing life.
While this book continues the story and tells the tales and adventures of Connel Lee, I would have been alright without all the sex. It was interesting reading about the Indians and how they moved with the seasons. I have read that Indian men had more than one wife but this is the first book where the wife has multiple husbands and, all living in the same teepee. Will start book three but if the male Indians continue having sex with each other will probable find a different series to read.
I found some of the sexual aspects unnecessary. The multiple wives and husband's were handled so nicely, but lovemaking details distracted me from the story in a negative way. Also, if you are going to go into that, wouldn't Connel Lee have some problem getting past his childhood abuse? Just saying.
The book was good, but some things happen in the book that I don’t agree with, sexuality would be one. When the Baines come into the story, it is good. I’m going to keep reading. Mary Read/Amazon Customer.
