Jean Louis
From farmer, To soldier, To gunslinger
"The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few." Luke 10:2
Jean Louis was on the slow and steady climb to becoming the next in line to run the family's sugarcane business. The hopes and dreams of the young man come to an end when his family's farm is burned along with his young wife inside their home. The men responsible for the tragedy were from the union army. This triggered Jean to run off and join the war in hopes to find the men who were responsible. His life turns bitter as he becomes hardened by the battles of the war, but eventually, the young man finds compassion as he helps save a group of slaves. In doing so Jean defects from the confederate army and continues his search for the men responsible for his wife's death. During his journey for revenge, his notoriety for being a gunslinger becomes well known. This causes much-unwanted attention as others ask for Jean's help.
Will he find the men responsible for his wife's death, or will the long path of violence he carved out be in vain?

Unable to remember the tragedy that left her orphaned, a little girl grows up in the wild backcountry of 1850 Colorado. Facing betrayal, greed, danger, and love, she must choose the kind of future she wants for herself. Safely hidden away, alone, and content, or learn to accept somethings are worth the risk. * * "I hear there was trouble in White Rock two days ago. Man by the name of Ludlow was shot dead in the street. He's a hired gun from Texas, talk is he tangled with Red Rivers and lost." Faith felt her heart quicken at the mention of his name and frowned. "Red River's? The gunfighter? Last I heard he was in New Mexico." "Not no more ma'am. Word about is he's got a price on his head and all the local guns who think they're salty enough are out to take him down." Her mind was whirling. Rivers was a wanted man; every hired gun in the territory would be after him, especially if there was a large reward involved. Where would he go, what would he do? Of all the stories she'd heard of Red, he was not a man to run from a fight.
