The Search

Across the Great Divide, Book 2

By: Michael L. Ross

Narrated by: Joshua Young

Where do you go when home is no longer an option?

The guns of the Civil War have ceased firing, and the shots are but an echo...yet the war rages on, deep inside Will Crump's soul. His "soldier's heart" is searching for peace, and in that quest, Will joins the westward movement, setting his path on a collision course with adventure, loss, and love.

The westward expansion floods the sacred, untouched lands with immigrants, bringing conflict to the Shoshone, Sioux, Cheyenne, and Arapaho. Amidst the chaos, Will finds safety in the shadow of the US Army, but the army brings battle-hardened troops into Red Cloud's War, pulling Will into a tornado of conflict.

Broken treaties and promises leave both sides searching for answers. Will's search leads him to a battle for survival, and there, he finds a love that could change him forever.

Dove, a young Shoshone woman, is a survivor of the Bear Creek Massacre. After being kidnapped and escaping from the Cheyenne, she joins Will's search, seeking where she belongs. Dove longs for more than the restricted role placed on women in her tribe. If she can learn to trust a White man, he just might help her find home...and hope.

Together, Will and Dove must search for understanding, and reach across the Great Divide.

A Great Read!!

This book was very interesting. And so detailed and descriptive. You could visualize the characters and action so clearly. It told the story of a confederate soldier after the war. Who suffered from PTSD and was looking for peace. It told about the horrors of war. It also told about the lives of the military and Indians after the war. A very easy to read book. One that kept your interest throughout. A great read.

Written with passion

The author is passionate about writing this story. I have enjoyed following the life of Will. I hope the author will continue with another book.

no second book drag

Book Review: Across the Great Divide: The Search by: Michael L Ross

The sequel to AtGD: The Clouds of War this book focuses on Will Crump as he travels West to find peace and heal from the War and get a Handel on his PTSD. He remains steadfast and grows while sticking the core of who he is. It is the second book in a trilogy without having that middle book drag.

And this story stabbed me in the heart and twisted the knife and hurt me. 💔 but definitely read this story. I give it five stars.
