title: Shattered Dreams
author: Rogers, R. William
description: With Tom and Sue now married, much of their focus in on building a loving relationship. The ranch continues to flourish while the railroad draws ever closer to becoming a reality. However, not all is well, as the local banker, Arthur Rhodes, has a devious plan to run folks out and take over most of the valley. After two of Rhodes' henchmen infiltrate The Bartlett, the ranch's daily routine is turned upside down, and its wranglers find themselves forced to deal with not only lies and trickery, but also Tall Bear's band of murderous, marauding Comanche warriors who have been supplied with Spencer rifles. When Tom finally gets wind of who is behind all the trouble, it's too late for him to put a stop to it, and all that remains is his undying love for and trust in the Lord Jesus.
