The Heart of Texas
Author Jeffrey Martin Botzenhart’s short story has the depth and character development of a novel. 'Sons of Eden' has the heart of Texas for all of the emotions it wrings out of the reader. The setting outside of Abilene near the rodeo where brothers Austin, Dallas, and Houston work off a debt incurred by their father, conveys the hard life and danger they’ve endured.

The author’s vivid descriptions, romantic sensitivity, dark secrets, social commentary, jaw-dropping and unpredictable turn of events, kept me turning the pages with tears in my eyes.

I highly recommend this well-written story whose characters step off of the pages and into your heart.
