A fugitive. A family. A frontier town forced to choose between the law—and what's right.

Set during a punishing heatwave in the American prairie, Marshal Holman Hunts the Legal is a powerful reimagining of frontier life told through the eyes of young Laura Ingalls and her father, Charles. When a wounded man collapses near their homestead—sunburned, half-conscious, and labeled a fugitive—the Ingalls must decide whether to turn him in or shelter him from the federal marshal riding hard into town.

As the heat rises, so does the tension.

Marshal Holman comes armed with wanted posters and federal orders. But the man he's hunting isn't a criminal—he's a father, running not from justice but toward love. What follows is a slow-burning standoff between obedience and conscience, tradition and truth.

Inspired by the public domain works of Laura Ingalls Wilder, this emotionally rich novel is the first in the Home on the Prairie – The Laura Ingalls Legacy Series. It honors the moral clarity of Little House on the Prairie while confronting the deeper questions facing every nation: Who deserves protection? What does justice really look like? And when the law forgets its soul, who dares to remember?

Perfect for fans of Kristin Hannah, Colson Whitehead, and The Chosen, this story speaks to both past and present—and leaves you changed by the end.
