Behold, This Dreamer

Janson Sanders, part Cherokee, part poor-but-proud white, is a man intent on revenging his father's death and taking back the land stolen from him by a wealthy planter. In the process, he meets and falls in love with the daughter of another rich landowner, a dangerous man who refuses to accept that his daughter would love below her station. Set against the backdrop of the small farm and sharecropping life in the South in the final days of King Cotton, Behold, This Dreamer is a story of love, hope, poverty, and heartbreak, in which the protagonist is pulled in opposite directions toward his love and his dream.
