When the chance for a new beginning leads them west to Los Angeles, they discover that sometimes, escaping the past is the only way to rebuild your future.

A family saga spanning years of hardship, sacrifice and courage, TWICE A TEXAN is the first book in James W. White's In The Borders of Paradise series.
