Little Hatchet

Little Hatchet is an epic historical saga filled with multigenerational family drama and stories of survival in the American frontier.

In the aftermath of the Civil War, the Oakley family seeks a fresh start on the rugged banks of Little Hatchet Creek in New Mexico. But when young Walter Oakley’s little brother is abducted right from the porch of their cabin, Walter embarks on a daring journey to rescue him. As they navigate their new life among the Mescalero Apaches, Comanches, and Tejanos, the Oakleys struggle to find peace in an unforgiving frontier.
 
But new challenges await in Texas as the new century dawns. The hardships posed by the frontier pale compared with Walter’s efforts to keep his family together amid the decadence, drunkenness, and violence of Prohibition.
 
Little Hatchet is the first book in The Oakleys series, a sweeping historical saga of resilience, family, and the relentless pursuit of a better life. Loosely inspired by the author’s kin, it’s a gripping tale of endurance and the unbreakable bonds that hold a family together.
