Publisher's Synopsis
"Now why in tar nation would that jasper leave this here?" Jesse asked himself in a low, perplexed tone; lifting bottles one after another, reading the labels of each one. "Oh, could be he just knew to for this Jasper, cousin." Jesse slowly looked up from the bottle he was still holding at the two men standing in front of him and Little Jessie. The baby girl was doing the same. Quickly and without expression, he sized them up. Deeming the two no immediate threat, he responded, "You boys wouldn't be after this, would you?" "We would," the previous speaker replied. "Is that gonna be a problem for ya?" "Nope. Here ya go," Jesse answered placing the bottle back inside the case, closing it, and handing it to the speaker; looking back and forth at both men. Each had a long gun cradled inside their left arms, two six-shooters around their waists, and dressed better than an average man he'd expect out on the backside of nowhere. A person's past catches up with them when they least expect and often does it in under a minute. Jesse's did. His threw him on a horse in the dark of night, dragging him down to Texas to answer for it. Regretting There, the third book in the All Roads Lead Home saga, dives into Jesse's past and collides head-on with his present; leaving the wayward man questioning all he thought he knew about himself. Jesse's rich Scot-Wichita heritage was examined in Book One: Getting There during his trek up north to winter in Wyoming as he traveled through his Native American grandmother's tales spanning over eighty years across pre-Indian Territory; linking his past, present, and future generations brought out more secrets than most knew. Recalling them took its toll. Book Two: Forgetting There, revealed more about those he trusted and resulted in having his memories savagely stolen. Regretting There keeps you guessing where Jesse McKlintock's mysterious and suspense-filled road leads him with more characters tugging at your heart, triggering laughs and tears in this fast-paced tale of folks living amidst their bad choices, rugged terrain, and tempestuous times. L. L. Ward, a prodigal native of Oklahoma, takes you for a ride beginning in the early 1800's, bringing it on home to present-day through the course of this seven book All Roads Lead Home series.
