Go west for luck go west for love Mardie W Schroeder

A lucky poker hand wins Benjamin Harrison Johnson a ramshackle homestead, the Six Bar Ranch. There's a big problem - a young lad, Joseph, comes with the property. Something he wasn't prepared to deal with. Discovering oil, having his house burned to the ground by outlaws, and the usual wild west adventures, sets in motion a fast-paced saga. Things change on the Six Bar Ranch when Joseph marries. And when Benjamin Harrison Johnson's grandson, Joe, Jr., dies tragically at the ranch, his wife, Olivia, world renown horse trainer, retreats to seclusion in Rome. When friends persuade Olivia to train a friend's horse for the Olympics, she finds herself, with the horse, on a boat that capsizes before reaching their destination. She and the horse end up on an uninhabited island in the Bahamas, where she meets the most beautiful man she has ever seen, but who she will only ever know as John. When Olivia returns to Rome to continue her secluded life style, John pursues her to Rome. That's when things get interesting and more than a little mysterious. Benjamin Harrison Johnson could never have imagined the tragedies and misadventures that his descendants would face. But in the end, it is the Six Bar Ranch that helps them heal and thrive.
