    CODY

    A teen coming of age in the old west unites with his horse against their worst enemy.  
    Trouble brews when restless native Indians, spurred into action by a brood of violent
    white men, take to the war path.  When Cody's parents become innocent victims of
    the Indians' retaliation, the newly orphaned teen takes an Indian of his own age as         
    captive.  The two foes are soon forced to unite against a greater enemy, the evil sons
    of a shrewd rancher.  When Cody's own beloved horse is gunned down, the devastated
    teen is coaxed by his friend to join the Indian camp, where Cody becomes the tool for
    gentling a wild herd.  When Cody finds himself caught up in a brutal battle between a
    posse bent on wiping out the natives who are determined to fight for their way of life,
    the compassionate spirit Cody showed to the wild horses of the open range is repaid by
    a mare who comes to his rescue in a thrilling defense.  Cody is faced with the toughest
    decision he'll ever make in the riveting conclusion.  An emotional tender tale of sacrifice,
    tragedy, forgiveness, and the eternal bond between horse and master.  
    (Teens-Adults, LARGER print that's easy on the eyes)
    For all who cherish the spirit of the horse

    GIFT OF THE LITTLE PEOPLE

    Nothing can spoil a summer vacation faster for kids than a grandfather dropping in
    unannounced . . . especially if the grandfather is a retired sheepherder from the old world,
    still wearing knickers and argyle socks and speaking with an Irish brogue.  Danny
    O'Donnell and his two brothers know they are in trouble the minute they discover their
    grandfather in the airport, sprawled out on the baggage conveyor belt where a mishap had
    just taken him on an unexpected ride.  From there, Danny figures it can only get worse.  
    And he's right.  Danny and his brothers' hilarious plans to foil their grandfather's visit only
    backfire on them, time and again.  Not only is the grandfather they hardly remember able
    to rebound, but the lively old man gives his teenage grandsons an embarrassing run for their
    money.  Hard-hearted Danny finds himself snared in an intense dislike for the old man who
    refuses to allow the loathing arrows to penetrate his soul.  The humorous little man appeals
    to everyone but Danny.  The stubborn teenager clashes with God's servant who reflects
    love and joy in the world around him, forcing Danny to learn valuable eternal lessons along
    the way.  A charming tale filled with laughter.  
    (Teens-Adults, LARGER print that's easy on the eyes)
    For all who dare to be different

    APACHE BRIDE   

    Accused by folks in the Old West town for causing her husband's death, a woman alone
    struggles to raise her two spoiled children while tackling the hardships of working their farm.  
    With no one to turn to, help comes to her from the Indian who killed her husband.  Faced
    with his own demons, the price the noble red man must pay for his deed forces him to choose
    between the love of a scorned woman . . . or his people.  When their mutual devotion to one
    another stirs the town's church members to anger, a heated confrontation between the aging
    senior pastor and his newly ordained young associate minister ignites into a fierce confrontation
    of their own, inciting the angry crowd to do the devil's work in the gripping conclusion.  A
    tender tale of love, strength, and forgiveness.  
    (Teens-Adults, LARGER print that's easy on the eyes)
