  In the shadow of South Africa’s turbulent history, one family’s story unfolds—bound by the land, haunted by the past, and driven by hope. 
  Set between 1930 and 1945, this sweeping tale follows Ruth MacLeod, a young woman determined to carve out a life beyond her family’s farm in Limpopo. Burdened by the legacy of the Anglo-Boer War—a conflict that left scars on both the land and the people—Ruth’s journey is one of resilience, independence, and quiet rebellion against the silence that has bound her family for generations. 
  Through the voices of Lena, a mother torn between duty and dreams; William, a father hardened by his own father’s emotional distance; and the indomitable Magda, a grandmother forged in the fires of survival, the MacLeod family must navigate love, loss, and the shifting sands of a world on the brink of change. 
  At its heart, this is a story of endurance, of finding beauty in the small moments, and of daring to seek more. As Ruth follows her own path, she carries with her the strength and sacrifices of those who came before her—and the hope of a future that feels just within reach. 
  Rich with historical detail and emotional depth, The MacLeod Legacy (or your book's title) is a poignant exploration of family, memory, and the ties that bind us to each other—and to the land we call home.

  A magnet for trouble. A dubious destiny. His quest for true love could succeed if only his moral compass didn’t point South. 
  The American West, 1850. Former French dandy Didier Rain’s weakness for saloon girls, money, and whiskey keeps derailing his plan to join the pantheon of epic poets. So, when he’s approached by holy men claiming he’s part of a prophecy, he agrees to transport an infant bride for a soul-selling sum of $30,000. But to fulfill his foretold role, he’ll have to succeed at two tasks at which he's always failed: keeping the cork in the bottle and his pants buttoned. 
  Unable to resist lustful impulses and outrageously depraved detours, Rain wreaks havoc through his augured misfortunes. Riding the treacherous pioneer landscape, his non-existent survival instincts send him down a trail littered with his own sin and probable doom. 
  Will Rain’s questionable care deliver the girl to her groom unsullied by his unsavory pursuits? 
  Delivering Virtue, A Dark Comedy Adventure of the West is the first book in the sublimely twisted historical magical realism series, The Epic of Didier Rain. If you like absurdist fiction, witty wordplay, and sordid humor, then you’ll love Brian Kindall’s quirky foray into a reimagined American Frontier.
