Sheriff Joseph Hawkins Mance Ian Wright

This second installment of the story of the Hawkins family features oldest brother Joseph, who survived the Civil War and continues to strive to live, prosper, and protect his family and his community in a sometimes harsh post-war world. This glimpse into the life of Sheriff Joseph Hawkins and his extended family, in the 1800's small town of Dallas, Missouri, can be accompanied by the first book in this series by Mance Ian Wright, The Long Trip Back, or it can easily stand alone as testimony to the love and bravery of the Hawkins family and the everyday perils and blessings they encounter.
