The Watchman’s Son

About the Book

Enter the world of Jacob Sparks, a 30-something wanderer who is tired — tired of this wandering life — and longs to settle down. As Jacob wanders the West to ease this longing, he goes on a series of adventures, meets interesting characters, and learns a lot about life. A long the way Jake learns the skills of a carpenter and is later befriended by Native Americans where he is taught life skills that will support his nomadic life. Jakes’ journey takes an unexpected turn that sees him retrace the steps of his younger years. As he gets a glimpse into his past and learns key lessons, he stumbles upon the place that may, in fact, be the answer to his longing.
