Ethan's Boys

Ethan's sons have long since left him and the Tanner empire he built. The ranch is in jeopardy of being confiscated by the federal government as Ethan Tanner lies dying. Juanita, Ethan's faithful housekeeper and his sons' "little mother," sends an urgent message to Benjamin, Ethan's youngest son, to come immediately. Trouble follows Benjamin and his two brothers, Nathanial and Jebediah. Nathanial's only son, Gabrial, joins Theodore Roosevelt and his Rough Riders fight in the Spanish-American War, while Nathanial's daughter, the beautiful Helena, struggles for her life to return to her father in Boston from Germany on the edge of WWI in Europe. Nathanial's struggle with alcoholism, Benjamin's battle to save his marriage and Jebediah's unending struggle with the same debilitating disease that killed his father conjure up more demons for the tragic Tanners. Ethan's Boys is a sprawling epic of dynamic proportions that spans two continents and the lives of three men. Nathanial, Jebediah, and Benjamin Tanner are unforgettable characters that forged the southwest with their blood and arrogance. You will not forget Ethan's Boys.
