About this listen

Claiming your share of the so called “free” land in the rugged and wide Canadian frontier in the 1880s was a difficult, demanding task. When someone tries to run roughshod over the “nesters” increasing the workload and demands, its time to take a stand.

There is more than bad weather for Hank James to contend with as he rides in search of the land of his dreams and the woman of his heart. Portis Martin, manager of a large cattle company, has no use for the small homesteaders that have begun to pepper the area…and he isn’t afraid of using every dirty trick he knows to run them out.

And Portis had been doing a pretty good job of it until what he decides are two saddle tramps, Hank James and his partner, Harry Gilmore arrive in the area.
Hank James wants equality. Hank James wants a life-time partner.
And, damn it, he’s going to get both.

Inspiring, heartfelt frontier adventure.

Homesteader: Finding Sharon by David M. McGowan is a captivating audiobook that masterfully combines history, adventure, and romance. Set in the untamed Canadian frontier of the 1880s, it vividly portrays the struggles and triumphs of homesteaders seeking a better life.

The story follows Hank James, a determined and principled protagonist, as he battles harsh elements, corrupt cattle interests, and personal challenges in his quest for land and love. His partnership with Harry Gilmore adds camaraderie and grit, while his search for Sharon infuses the tale with heartfelt emotion.

Portis Martin, the unscrupulous cattle manager, is a formidable antagonist whose schemes add tension and stakes to the narrative. The themes of justice, resilience, and the pursuit of equality resonate deeply, making this story both timeless and inspiring.

McGowan’s rich storytelling and attention to historical detail bring the era to life, while the narrator’s performance enhances the immersive experience. The pacing is just right, balancing moments of suspense, action, and tender emotion.

This audiobook is a must-listen for fans of historical fiction and tales of perseverance. It’s an unforgettable journey of hope, courage, and finding one’s place in the world.
