But as Jack's about to find out, blood and redemption rule supremeĪccess-restricted-item true Addeddate 14:14:16 Boxid IA1902105 Camera Sony Alpha-A6300 (Control) Collection_set printdisabled External-identifier Oil wells spurt liquid money from the ground. In the throes of being civilized, East Texas is still a wild, feral place. But the best he can come up with is a charismatic, bounty-hunting dwarf named Shorty, a grave-digging son of an ex-slave named Eustace, and a street-smart woman-for-hire named Jimmie Sue who's come into some very intimate knowledge about the bandits (and a few members of Jack's extended family to boot). With no elders left for miles, Jack must grow up fast and enlist a band of heroes the likes of which has never been seen if his sister stands any chance at survival.
Then catastrophe strikes on the way to their uncle's farm, when a traveling group of bank-robbing bandits murder Jack's grandfather and kidnap his sister. His parents have just succumbed to the smallpox epidemic sweeping turn-of-the-century East Texas - orphaning him and his younger sister, Lula. His grandmother was killed in a farm accident when he was barely five years old. Jack Parker thought he'd already seen his fair share of tragedy.
