The Rebirth of Morgan Ranch

A mid-life career change has brought John back to unexpected ownership of the family cattle ranch in rural British Columbia. A wrong turn in a snowstorm strands Lois and her son Peter on a rough mountain logging road above the ranch. Their brief stay at Morgan Ranch sets in motion events that will have a profound effect on the young man at a critical point in his life, and play a central role in the rebirth of Morgan Ranch. A story of healing, growth, and the power of caring for others.

Without a doubt, the best story about home-built aircraft, buffalo ranching, hunting, rifles, machining, and a recipe for chocolate fudge, set on a cattle ranch in British Columbia that you'll read this month!

He was a serious home shop machinist with a bent towards firearms and home gunsmithing, and had several machining articles published.
