A Calling to God
After the Civil War, disgruntled Confederate veteran Sam Clay put his military experience to work as a bounty hunter. But a showdown with a wanted man in the New Mexico territories changed his life forever.
Wounded and struggling to recover, Sam meets Betty, a caring and attentive nurse. They become inseparable and eventually a couple. During his convalescence he begins to re-think what direction his life should take. A chance encounter along the trail to Texas with a charismatic, frontier preacher stimulates a yearning deep within him and Sam vows embrace his faith. Following the patient teachings of the preacher, Sam too becomes a man of the cloth.
Learning of a small Texas town that has advertised for a new parson, he jumps at the chance to serve. With expectations of a new and better life, Sam doesn't realize that the town's dark past will come back to haunt all of them. The untimely prison release of a deranged killer, one who has vowed to take revenge on Sam’s peaceful parish of Coffee, Texas throws everything and everyone into a life and death struggle for survival. As the town’s spiritual leader, Sam is thrown into the crisis and he intends to tend his flock through it—with guns blazing.
W.R. Benton westerns start out hot and get hotter—be ready for a page-turning, epic tale of old West action.
