About the Book

"The Easterner is a good uplifting story with well developed characters that immediately draw empathy from the reader. Ms. Hall proves to have a very sensitive way of expressing in a period piece many of the feelings women have towards problems of our day. Smooth but exciting reading!"

Anthony Vinardi: A patriarch driven to instill tradition in his sons and daughters at any cost.

Joseph Vinardi: A firstborn son courageous enough to defy the only man who has the means to destroy him.

Amanda Vinardi: A young girl willing to give up her family and her heritage for a dream that eventually takes her across the world.

Jason Forbes: The Easterner. A man who dares to risk his life fighting to change tradition in order to claim the only woman he's ever loved.

Sylvia Sloan: The elusive woman powerful enough to change them all.

As a boy, Anthony Vinardi watched his papa toil under the hot Nebraska sun, struggling to nurture the roots he had established on the small plot of land he farmed, the land that Anthony inherited before life in a new land could offer him another choice. Still, Anthony loved the earth and he was determined that his sons and daughters would feel the same way. Never in his wildest dreams had he envisioned a force stronger than the tradition that had been instilled in him all his life. Nor was he prepared to fight the man, the Easterner, who, as a result of the stroke of a pen, could tear Anthony's dream from his very soul and scatter it into the wind.
