Wind Water
by Jeanne WilliamsTwenty years ago, Julie McCloud was saved from certain death by the windmilling pair of Cap and Mike Shanahan, who discovered an infant girl crying in a covered wagon that contained the bodies of her cholera-infected family. Since then Julie has crossed and recrossed the great American plains learning to erect windmills and bringing water into the dry country. At the close of the nineteenth century, the trio manages to work their way into No Man’s Land. Before they can reach their next job, however, they are stopped by three scraggly- looking boys. The recently orphaned boys are in dire need of a windmill and hope to pay Cap back in kind once their crops are harvested. The windmillers readily agree. But the powerful rancher Colonel Jess Chandless and his men have other ideas. Chandless wants the land those boys are sitting on, and knows that once they have a windmill, they will be difficult to move off the property. Cap’s windmilling outfit will have to be stopped....

(series header for all three books)book one Dreams of Gold Trilogy When gold was discovered out West during the nineteenth century, men rushed from all parts of the globe to stake their claims. Fortunes were made and lost, families uprooted, and a continent shaped by men driven by dreams of gold. (end series header)Go West, Young Man! 1849. Craig Turley was born with a silver spoon in his mouth, the son of a wealthy New York businessman. Craig has always felt he had something to prove, so when gold is found near Sacramento , he packs his bags for California , ready to try his wings. His younger sister and her governess, Kathy, hate to see him go-especially because they've recently trusted their lives to Jesus Christ and Craig has not. Kathy is praying for his salvation, his safe return. . . and that he'll come to love her as much as she does him. In the rough-and-tumble world of the gold rush, will this city boy find the wealth he seeks? Or does he have his eyes on the wrong kind of riches? Story Behind the Book "This was a fascinating project for both of us because of our love of American history. So often in the Bible, gold and the lesser precious metals are linked with money and other possessions that make men rich-the pursuit of which is frequently tied to greed and covetousness, which destroys lives. As our story will reveal, many great fortunes were won. . . and many were lost. Riches are spoken of in the Bible as often deceptive, unsatisfying, hurtful, and uncertain. Let each of us take note of what the Spirit of God told Paul to write to his son in the faith, Timothy: 'Charge them that are rich in this world, that they be not high-minded, nor trust in uncertain riches, but in the living God, who giveth us richly all things to enjoy' (1 Timothy 6:17).
