The Ditch Rider

This historical fiction novel describes the story of a modern mid-life crisis, and the heaven sent help that got a family through it. It tells the story of the many stark realities faced by the early settlers in the harsh desert of southern Utah in the early 1900’s.

The entire community depended on one man's dedication, courage and strength. If he failed, the whole town would suffer greatly and possibly become just another American ghost town.

He did not fail! He rode through fierce winds, cold rains, the blackness of night and the canal was protected. His sacrifice made Hurricane a success, but so great was his sacrifice that his family suffered emotional scars for generations.
The ditch rider returns to ride once more and to right old wrongs that can only be healed with a fuller perspective from beyond the grave, and to offer compassion and strength to help a new generation find their way through the perils they face in the modern age.
