"A rich and well-written western that offers humor and a glimpse of what the old west was like." -- USABookNews.com

"If you enjoyed Lonesome Dove, you will not be disappointed with this novel...It belongs in every western lover's library." -- Historical Novels Review, November, 2006.

This heartfelt novel traces the intertwined fates of a pair of honest horse wranglers and a group of kidnapped Chinese women during the late 1800s. Based on historical documents and more than five years of research, Broken Trail is the basis for the Emmy award-winning AMC cable network's first original production, starring Robert Duvall and Thomas Haden Church.
