Son

Spring of 1849. Eli McCullough was only thirteen when the Comanche Indians attacked his home in Texas, killed his mother and sister, and took him with them. Intelligent and desperately brave, Eli quickly adapted to life among the Indians and soon became one of them. Neither white nor Indian, the boy was caught between two civilizations, one fading and one emerging. He must find his own place in a world where adventures and tragedies follow each other with kaleidoscopic speed. 1915. Peter McCullough is burdened by a sense of guilt for what is happening around him, for the fury with which people carve out their place in the sun. He is the complete opposite of his father – he does not act, but observes and contemplates. Peter arrived in this world too soon, where only strength and aggression are valued. Mid-twentieth century. Ginny McCullough is an unyielding lady, managing the richest company in Texas, if not the entire country, the head of a powerful oil empire, with an iron hand. Her world is one of cold calculation and rapid reactions to political news. But she does not feel at home in it.
