Heart of Gold
ByPublisher Description
This story is about a young man from Alabama, a sharecroppers son. Farming was all he had ever done, and it was all he knew. After his parents death, he decides to go for a ride and sort out his life. He has heard about some places in the west called Texas and Colorado, and he thinks maybe those are where he should start.
Somehow and someway, he falls into other peoples problems. The story follows him as he helps people on their own journey. He meets people and goes places he could not have never imagined.
Rusty Jones is a likeable character but will not be pushed. No one dares to harm a friend.
You are going to meet some downright bad people, and you are going to meet people you will like a lot. In my way of thinking, its all about the story, but Jackie says its all about the characters. The characters are special. I enjoyed writing every word. I hope you enjoy it.
