Addie: Courage Rides a Gray Horse
In the 1880's, young Addie leaves her home in the rolling hills of Texas at the side of Fett Loveland despite the pleading of her family. Following him across the vast and open country of unsettled territory, she finds herself far from home when the unthinkable happens.
Now alone with no means to get herself home, Addie travels farther into the Nevada territory to take a job as a housekeeper to the Brady family, hoping to earn stage fare back to her own people in Texas.
Below the Independance Mountains she bears her burden of grief and loneliness. Addie finds in the desert and sage a desolation and hopelessness the soul cannot bear alone, with nothing but grit and determination to help her survive the harshness of life on a remote homestead.
As a brutal winter unfolds, Addie finds comfort in unexpected places; the Brady boys who mourn the loss of their mother, and, in particular, a gray horse who haunts her dreams and waking hours.
Winner of the Will Rogers Bronze Medallion for Western Inspirational Fiction, Addie shows us that when we are most alone, we are never alone as we think. Addie celebrates the strength and dignity of the human spirit as it reaches to accept the confusing will of God.
