1883, San Antonio-where the dying frontier collides with industrial ambition... John Ives, the privileged son of a powerful tycoon, is sent to oversee his family's ventures in the brutal swamps of Tampico, Mexico. But a fateful return to Texas sets him on a collision course with Stella Moore, a fiercely independent schoolteacher searching for her missing sister, and Peter Olenbush, a reckless ally with his own secrets. As corruption festers in the shadows of progress, John's quest for redemption is haunted by his family's dark legacy and a murder that refuses to stay buried. In a city simmering with violence, greed, and betrayal, John must navigate the dangerous intersections of love, guilt, and survival. For fans of sweeping historical dramas and morally complex characters, The Wounds of My Father is a masterful tale of ambition, redemption, and the devastating cost of secrets. "Roccie Hill is an exceptional writer with an unerring sense of time and place. You mustn't miss her latest, The Wounds of My Father, which will transport you to turn of the century San Antonio, where American industrialists clash with frontier settlers. Highly recommended!"-Eric Maisel, Choose Your Life Purposes 'It is Hill's skill as a wordsmith together with her knowledge as historian and genealogist that creates a gripping story conveyed in evocative prose. This is a page turner that is at once a crime novel, a vividly poetic chronicle of life in a rapidly changing America, and a comment on where and how our lives and those of our ancestors, take us." - Mary Ann De Vlieg Secretary General Emeritus of International European Theater Meeting/Move-on.org; Co-Founder
