Synopsis
The six-book series about four generations of the Morgan family living, fighting, and thriving amidst a turbulent Texas history spanning from 1845 to 1896 begins with Lone Star Trail. Although a series, each book can be read on its own.
Judson 'Jud' Morgan's father died for Texas' freedom during the war for independence. So when the Society for the Protection of German Immigrants in Texas (the Verein) attempts to colonize a New Germany in his country, he takes a stand against them.
After Wande Fleischers' fiancé marries someone else, the young fraulein determines to make a new life for herself in Texas. With the help of Jud's sister Marion, Wande learns English and becomes a trusted friend to the entire Morgan family.
As much as Jud dislikes the immigrant invasion, he can't help admiring Wande's character. She is sweet and cheerful as she serves the Lord and all those around her. Can the rancher put aside his prejudice to forge a new future? Through Jud and Wande, we learn the powerful lessons of forgiveness and reconciliation among a diverse community of believers.

Taking the Lead
Alec London Series #5
By Stephanie Perry Moore
When Tyrod announced he was running against me for class president, I knew it was on. I was done letting that bully get to me. Instead of fighting him, I decided to speak from my heart and let the class pick their leader. Now that the elections are done, it's time for me to figure out what Grandma means when she says it's important to lead God's way.
I think watching my dad might help. A lot of people are very happy with the way he is leading our school. But it's not easy. He and Mom have been fussing a lot lately. I'm not going to worry, though. Grandma says their marriage is in God's hands and He will help them work it out.
Coach Moore has been teaching me that good leaders care about everything they do - even if it means doing what is best instead of doing what makes you popular. This year God has been helping me really care and do what is best. And that is leading to a great finish for the school year.
