Their story took root because of the shared friendship of their father’s, and the bond between the sons grew strong in following the dream of building a working ranch and farm. The sons partner in building the Silver-Hawk Ranch and, because of the flourishing demands of this venture, take on an ex-service friend, Owen Kagel, as the ranch foreman. The unforeseen death of Coleman Silver’s wife, Lana, leaves a motherless boy and an infant girl to be reared by their grieving father and his devoted friends and ranch partners, Rueben and Celia Hawk.Our journey begins as the friends and partners arrive in Corpus Christi, Texas for a horse auction. The long drive calls for a rest-stop while Owen takes the opportunity to contact his mother who lives on the outskirts of town.
