~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Mercer's Manor" by Bobby R Woodall is a true-to-life Civil war era western.

It is a unique blend of an ex-Union officer's struggle to overcome atrocities of being a prisoner of war at Andersonville Prison, made more difficult from the harsh realities of post-war survival. Atrocities inflicted on him that will forever be engraved into the main characters mind, (Dan Mercer) as he searches out a new way of life on the untamed plains. The elements of Oklahoma's furious climate were realistically brought to life throughout the story. As did the action packed battles against Indians and society.

The Author talents kept the story flowing with events and details, which held this readers mind constantly desiring to know what was about to unfold in this romantic/western.

The writer satisfies us with a true love that can stand the test of time and the constant torment of separation, while nobly helping a Widow's attempts to survive. Even the Government's betrayal request would not quench the passion for a lost love.

An excellent romantic, action-packed western.
