Standing at the Horizon

Welcome Back to Bugler After a Christmas spent with Mark's family in Fort Worth, Texas, which advertised itself as the Queen City of the Prairie, Mark and Elise and their twins returned home to Bugler, Wyoming. Ellen, a young woman from the town, now a college student in another state came to ask Elise's advice on a particularly painful subject that later drove Elise to her knees. An entire family mysteriously stole away from town during the night with all their possessions. The men of Bugler had tried for years to interest a doctor in coming to their town. Suddenly they learned of one who had already purchased a house and was planning his move. Could he have more than one interest? Ethan Grey received a letter addressed to him which contained the surprise of his young life. A woman whose husband perished on the journey was near collapse when she and her daughter arrived at Wade and Cook's ranch. Watch for the 'delegation of women'. No one thought rustlers would be so brazen as to target the town of Bugler. Perhaps it was the reputation of the beautiful riding horses Mark finished training. A ranch couple moved to town and an accidental discovery opened the wounds of old sorrows. Later in this story a blessing comes to them because of their loss. Mark, Elise and another couple attended the Cheyenne Frontier Days, with twice as many visitors as residents in the young city. New life is coming to Bugler. Blessings on all the readers of this continuing story.
