And Nelson can't accept that he's been paired with someone other than his former master. Just as Brenden starts to live again, a devastating setback causes him to try to end it all.

Now they need a leap of faith and a love beyond words to make it.

Eventually, they let her go, but Tomahawk stayed, because of his pal, young Joe Arnold. Tomahawk's happy life with Joe ended when he was stolen by horse rustlers. Then followed an exciting period when Tomahawk, evading the rustlers, lived a perilous life in the wild country of the Old West. His fight with the old black cow, the terror of the prairies; his swim for his life in a swollen stream, filled with stampeding cattle milling around the desperate horse, and the climax in a wild horse trap, from which he is rescued by Jim Arnold, are only a few of the adventures that all Hinkle readers have come to look for in his books.
