Matthew Unstrung

Description

An extraordinary hero...a remarkable story that will echo and inspire...The year is 1910 and Zack wants Matthew to help him run the Colorado ranch he's built for both of them. But their father, a fire-and-brimstone preacher, is determined to have Matthew stay in college and follow him into the ministry. Caught up in a dream he cannot fulfill, Matthew's life begins to unravel. Even the discovery of an old fiddle and the solace his talent and love for music brings aren't enough to save his faltering sanity.Abandoned by his father, Matthew is spirited away to his brother's ranch. There, bolstered by Zack's tough love and common sense, Matthew begins to regain his hope and to take his first vital steps toward realizing a vision for his own future.This gripping tale, spun from memory, history, and emotion, is based on the life of the author's grandfather.
