Short Story Press Presents Along The Prairie Winds Daniel Newcomer

Tyler and Caroline live an almost perfect life of love and marriage after buying a farm and taking on the many challenges that farm life provides. Everything was going well for more than ten years, until one night at the end of another terrible harvest brought on by drought when the entire foundation of Tyler and Caroline's relationship was tested after a sudden accident in the field. Their prized and most beloved horse, Marquis de Sade, collapsed without any explanation, and upon breaking the news to Tyler, the happy couple dived into conflict of what they could possibly do to save the horse. Although they are worried about the upcoming winter months and their ability to survive, both Caroline and Tyler have different ideas regarding what they'll do with Marquis. The conflict that evolves and the measures they take to solve this problem surrounding the horse begins to illuminate the meaning of a long-lasting love, while both Caroline and Tyler begin to see something else that was hidden within each of them, leading to a startling discovery that will forever change their relationship as they know it. Along The Prairie Winds is a story of love and conflict, and how these two things relate and can manifest other issues in disastrous situations.
