Letter for Gene

De: C.J. Petit

Narrado por: Michael Alan White

The war was ending for Captain Eugene Stewart. He and the rest of the 85th Illinois would soon be mustered out and he’d return home to Peoria. After he entered his tent, he found a thick envelope from his mother sitting on his cot. When he unfolded the pages, another envelope fell to the ground. He picked it up and noticed the heavy hand that had written the address. It hadn’t been sent to him with the army but was forwarded by his mother.

After reading his mother’s letter, he stared at the sealed envelope and thought about tossing it into the fire rather than reading it. It had been written by his father. The same man who had abandoned his family more than ten years ago leaving an eleven-year-old Gene as the man of the house.

He spent a few minutes in contemplation before opening the letter and was stunned when he read that his hated father had the audacity to ask for his help. And to give him that help, he had to travel hundreds of miles to Colorado.

Most men might have not bothered to even consider granting such a request, but Gene wasn’t most men. The man who had deserted his family was still his father.

family challenges and reconciliation

great character development and characters to emulated and characters to ignore. good mix of action and passion.

Great read!

This is a great book. I couldn’t put it down once I started it. Characters were easy to follow and it was clear who the good guys were. You could bond easily with the characters. This is the first book by this author and I’m going to look for more.

main character Gene

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. every time I listen to CJ pettit's books they're amazing. the narration is flawless. thanks for all the good listening 👍😊💓

Another of my favorite CJ Petit western novels. Worthy of many listens.

This is a great story full of characters that I love to visit often. Of course there are also some interesting evil bad guys that the characters I have come to love need to overcome. The action sequences in this book don’t stretch credulity as much as many of my favorite CJ Petit audio books but fear not, the pace of the story is excellent! One of my favorite things about Mr. Petit’s books is the variety from one to the next. Just listened to this one again, and I’m already thinking of starting it again!
