But first, he must outrun the demons of his past. A book with something for everyone, The Unlikely Cowboy tells a story of life after loss and reminds us of the relentless strength of the human spirit in the face of adversity. Joe D’Angelo has lost it all. In the last five years he lost his parents and his wife, and his only son was killed in action. After twenty years as an NYPD sergeant, he’s also lost his love for the work. Brooklyn has always been home, but what was once a place filled with joyous memories with his family is now a reminder of the grim shadows of a past life he can never get back. The only way to move on is to leave it all behind. After Joe packs up what’s left of his life in his new pickup and drives across the country to a small Texas town, he believes he might have finally found the right path to healing. He meets many new friends, but one in particular—Megan—catches his eye. He wonders if she’s what he’s been looking for but struggles with guilt and sadness over the memory of his beloved first wife. Just when Joe feels he might have found happiness in Canyon, Texas, he learns the shadows of his past have followed him from New York, seeking revenge. But this time, he has something worth fighting for, and he ain’t leaving.
