When Tommy “Red” Walker loses everything he holds dear in West Texas, he faces a choice that will define his future. With his parents gone and his family ranch sold, the year 1850 finds him staring down an uncertain path toward the untamed frontier.
In ‘The Trail West,’ Bren Kunzler delivers a powerful tale of one young man’s transformation from grieving son to seasoned cowboy. Tommy joins a grueling cattle drive to Kansas, where scorching days and bitter nights test his resolve. Outlaws lurk in every shadow, wild animals threaten the herd, and survival depends on grit, skill, and the trust of hardened cowhands who don’t suffer fools.

But the real test comes when Comanche warriors attack the drive. In that moment of life and death, Tommy discovers the steel within himself. His courage catches the attention of Sani, a beautiful Apache woman whose love will change everything he thought he knew about family and belonging.
