Book Description
The years following the American Civil War were particularly unjust to those who called the South home. Most families had suffered tremendous loss to the horrors of a war they didn't fully understand. Many Southern homesteads could not protect themselves from the horde of profiteers sweeping South at war's end, good and bad alike, all hoping to reap the spoils of a defeated South. Some by legal means, sure, but many others by any means it took. Buach Whelan (Boo-ock Whay-lan) is a big, strong lad of Irish descent who was raised by the Cherokee elders to become the white warrior Lone Eagle. He was too young to fight in the legal war but was near grown when the postwar Reconstruction hit his part of the southern Appalachian Mountains. Bein' one who honors duty, he is forced into the fight when his own home is taken, his family murdered. His struggle becomes a personal war he vows to see to the end. Such becomes the way for Buach Whelan. Such becomes a life lived by the legend of Swell Branch.

Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 459
Book Description
Top 5 Category Finalist - 2020 Kindle Book Awards! A boldly imagined, exhilarating quest through post-apocalyptic America, where human nature is torn between the violent desperation to survive and the desire to forge connection. Thirty-five years ago, the world was ravaged by war. Delia, a tough-as-nails survivalist, travels North in search of a future. Gennero is tortured by his violent past and devotion to his hometown. Ordered to apprehend Delia, he follows her into the post-apocalyptic landscape. The wasteland is rife with dangers for those seeking to traverse it: homicidal raiders, dictatorial leaders, mutated humans, and increasingly violent and hungry wildlife. What Branches Grow is an unflinching depiction of life after civilization, where, above all else, trust is the hardest thing to achieve and give. The survivors have an audacious dream of a better life, but their quest may end up being a fruitless endeavour in a world openly hostile to hope. For fans of Fallout, Mad Max, and The Road. Action and adventure are rounded off with a slow-burn romance, dark comedy, and a dog companion.
