Darlene Franklin launches Moody Publishers, six-book, multi-author Texas Trails series with Lone Star Trail. The series will span fifty years and four generations of the Morgan family. Darlene’s hero, Jud Morgan, has seen his siblings grow to maturity after being thrust into his position as head of the Morgan family after his father’s death in the Texas War of Independence. Says Darlene, “Jud looks forward to freedom from responsibility when a German immigrant family has an accident on his doorstep—threatening both his future and his country.”
