THE TRUE FATHER
(Hardcover)
By Steven Anderson Law
Goldminds (ReadWest), March 2011 |
|
ON THE DAY TREVOR HODGE graduates
from college his life is about to take a sudden turn, and it's not
toward the big accounting job that he'd lined up. Surprised by a
visitor at his college commencement, Trevor learns that his father,
who he never knew, has died in an accident. Trevor is drawn by a
subconscious and relentless yearning to go to Oklahoma to the
funeral. He ultimately decides to stay the summer with his father's
family and travel the rodeo circuit, where his father was a local
hero. He falls in love with his lost family, with the rural
atmosphere of Oklahoma, as well as a pretty half Choctaw barrel
racer. But most of all Trevor faces an awakening he never expected,
and one that leaves his family, and the town of Spiro, on the edge
of their seats. |
“...a delightfully woven tale
full of charm and raw elegance. This character driven piece
was a joy to read. It's beautiful in its simplicity and
heartfelt in its plot development. I highly recommend
The True Father.”—Maureen Holmes, producer for the documentary film

“Steven
Anderson Law's absorbing and generous novel, The True Father,
captures the intimate heartbreaks and redemptions of a young man
as he searches for the truth about his parents' botched
marriage. As Trevor Hodge graduates from college with a
dry-as-dust degree in accounting, he is triggered to full life
by the death of his estranged father, an Oklahoma rodeo legend.
Hodge moves from Kansas City and a new job without dignity to a
rural homescape of dizzying discoveries. Hodge's pilgrim trail
offers hard lessons about good intentions gone gunnysack. The
mysteries and ambiguities of his father's life head Hodge into
love... a believable love story that Freud would have had a
field day with: the son meets the father's young lover. Law's
daring coming-of-age novel (complete with an introductory primer
on bull riding), The True Father, offers readers the rewards of
seeing what is in plain sight... that it is seldom too late to
locate the treasures of family and love.”—Red Shuttleworth,
award-winning poet

THE TRUE FATHER, PART
II:
TREVOR,
BELLA AND THE NEW LIFE
By Steven Anderson Law
Goldminds Publishing, June 2011
|
|
For those
of you who have read my novel, THE TRUE
FATHER, this is a short sequel. If anything, it's like an
epilogue to where the lives of the main characters turned. I've had several inquiries as to what happened
between Trevor and Bella, the sideline romance in the novel. So this
short story will answer those questions, and, with a new romantic twist,
entertain as well. |
