In a coastal Texas town in the 1870s, it isn't easy to turn cowboy, so Ryder relies on what he has-a strong will, a nickel's worth of luck, and an inclination to take on any dare.

When Ryder's abusive father goes too far, a hard-fisted cowboy intervenes, offering him a deal with one condition: He must leave his beloved town of Indianola behind. After peddling his luck for so long, will he make it as a cowboy at the Middle C Ranch? As Ryder faces the consequences of his decision, the Mistress-the ocean Ryder loves to hate-tries once more to claim him. Can young Ryder best the storms in his path? Or will he lose his dream-and his town-forever? Brimming with superstitious sailors, rugged cowboys, and catastrophic events, Nickel's Luck is a coming-of-age tale that takes readers on an epic journey.

His people have an edge on the others because of their famous mountain man and guide. Another of the small groups is led by a committee of highly ambitious men organized under the name of the Western Immigration Association. They have an edge on the others because of their meticulous planning and organization. Rufus Kelsey is the leader of another of the small groups. He is the head of a rough and tough hillbilly clan, and their edge on the others comes from their reckless desperation. All these people mix and match on the way to California.

Download or read book A Side Order of Truth written by Robert L. Payne and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2012-05-29 with total page 704 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: My purpose in writing this book was to leave a mark on the hard face of passing time, a mark softened at the edges of a smile. An early glance shows a young family secure in its humor. Yet the grip of something stronger squeezes the three children apart and toward irony that laughter couldn't touch. It will touch readers, I am confident. My hope is that these pages will loosen the force that wrenched the siblings apart, even as they thought less and less of how to help each other. Still and all, they must turn their own thoughts around.
