The Homestead Claim

Jasper Cole only means to fix a broken wagon wheel and move on. But when his found family stops beside an abandoned North Florida spring, Seraphine Voss sees what others missed: clean water, old signs of a forgotten claim, and a place worth building.

Soon Broken Wheel Spring becomes a roadside stop with food, repairs, clean water, Mensa's rule board, Grandpaps' hazardous inventions, Hackney's fish stories, and two children who believe every creature deserves official consideration. But Mayor Bellrusk wants the spring for himself, and his polished threats, missing papers, false fees, and quiet sabotage force the family to prove what they have built.

With humor, grit, faith, and stubborn common sense, Jasper and Seraphine turn a broken wheel into a home, a family, and a claim powerful men cannot easily move.
