If you’ve ever endured crushing defeat, or suffered bitter disappointment, or been threatened by an unjust system … you can relate to the main character in Someplace North, Someplace Wild.
For years Cody Brandon has wanted to raise cattle in the high, wilderness pastures of central British Columbia, Canada. He graduates from Texas A&M University and heads north. He’s resourceful and responsible but a little impulsive. Some of his friends call him a hopeless optimist. And he definitely would do well to slow down. He’s kind of a ready-fire-aim sort of guy! 😎
Cody’s on the road to his dream, but has no idea what will be waiting for him when he gets there. If he had, he might never have left his home in Dalhart, Texas.
Two days into his epic drive, in the north woods of Idaho and shortly before crossing the Canada border, he does a kindness for a stranger, a good deed that will be repaid with injury.
He’ll be framed for voluntary manslaughter and assault with intent to commit murder. If he doesn’t find the real killer, he’s facing up to fifteen years in the pen and the end of his dream.
Cody grew up in a strong Christian home. Was a good kid. Never gave his parents trouble. Other than a couple of speeding tickets, he’s never been cross ways with the law.
But at the peak of the crisis, he’ll have seconds to decide, “Do I honor the law as I’ve always been taught? Or do I make a run for it and try to exonerate myself?”
What he decides will shape the rest of the story.
