Road to Redemption (Bee Adkins Book 3)

For some men, the frontier is not a place on a map, but a way of life.

For Bee Adkins, a master hunter and family man living in the mid-1900s, the old ways are the only ways he knows. As the American West rapidly modernizes around him, Bee relies on his legendary tracking skills to provide for his wife and children. From hunting mountain lions for ranchers to bartering his labour for rationed goods during the war, he carves out a living on the fringes of society. But his path is a difficult one, leading his family from one rustic home to another, each move a stark reminder of the modern comforts they lack and a test of their endurance.

Viola, Bee’s wife, and their children follow him from a dusty olive grove in California to a remote line cabin in the mountains of New Mexico, their lives dictated by the seasons and the hunt. While the children find wonder in the wilderness, they also yearn for the stability of a permanent home with electricity and running water. Bee promises them a better life is just around the corner, but with each new hardship, he is forced to confront the growing chasm between the rugged world he thrives in and the changing world his family longs to join.

Based on a true story, this biographical novel paints a vivid portrait of a man caught between two eras, whose unwavering determination to provide for his family is matched only by the perils of his profession. As Bee’s reputation as a hunter grows, it brings both opportunity and dangerous conflicts that threaten the very family he is fighting to protect, forcing them all to question if the road he has chosen will lead to their redemption or their ruin.

The Road to Redemption is a poignant and powerful saga of survival, sacrifice, and the steep cost of one man’s devotion to a fading frontier.
