As rampant land development and tourist money begin to transform the old German farming community of Fredericksburg, two intermarried pioneer families lock in a life-and-death struggle over the sale of their homestead. Their vicious feud--in an otherwise harmonious and bucolic community--leads to the demise of two pioneer families and culminates in the triumph of one hard-headed, young girl. \u003cbr\u003e This book delves into the clash of new wealth and ingrained poverty as rural Texas grapples with a changing world. In a short period of time, the town of Fredericksburg has morphed from a rock-rimmed farming community into the chic tourist destination that it is today. While the town itself has blossomed, this is the story about a family that destroys itself.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Marc Hess\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1626346046\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781626346048\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Greenleaf Book Group Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/30\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 216\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.60d","brand":"Marc Hess","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44067873063167,"sku":"9781626346048","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_7c4b890f-5db5-49e4-8f52-09976f879890.jpg?v=1685415797","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-gillespie-county-fair-marc-hess-9781626346048","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
