About Product:
Seldom is ther a book published which holds a reader's interest from the first chapter to the last. The Proud Blood is a book that will do just that. This powerful and intriguing novel by the talented author, Maxine Anderson Henrie, will keep you spellbound in living its pages as they are read and receiving that special feeling of believing each character personally as real individuals.
The Proud Blood is the story that revolved around Jeffrey Thornton whose mother is Navajo Indian and whose father is white. The author traces three generations of the Thornton family as they carve a successful ranch out of the mountains of Southern Utah during the early 1930's.
Jeffrey struggles for his place in life.... and pursues a love that seems helpless from the start. There are those who condemn him because of his mixed blood, as there are those who love him more firecely for that very reason. At one time, he questioned his parents' right to have loved, to be married under the everlasting covenant of Mormon marriage. Yet he loved each as he was sure he could have never loved others.
There are touching moments throughout... moments of compassion and love, moments of cheer, triumph, and respect for a despised but courageous young who wants to succeed in life and realized that hatred and revenge have no place for one who has proud blood flowing in his veins.
Jeffrey Thornton at last learns the secret how to gain respect from mankind, a respect that we all yearn for in life. Even though you'll hate to have an end to this inspiring story, it's impact will linger in your heart forever.
