"The best men I've known have been cowmen. "There's a code they live by-it's their way of life. It starts with an abiding reverence for the Good Lord. "They're taught to honor and respect their parents and to share both blanket and bread. Their words are their bond, a handshake their contract. "They're good stewards of His creation, the land. They believe the words in His Book. "Learn from these men-from their stories of triumph over tragedy-victory over adversity, for the wisdom of others blows where it wishes-like a Texas Wind." -Randy Willis 2022

Beckoning Candle is a sweeping family saga that spans four centuries. It is the story of two great nations and Randy Willis's ancestor's struggle from tyranny-religious and political. To better understand this saga, it will help if you know a little about my ancestry dating back to 1575. John Willis and William Bradford were born in England in the 16th century. Both were Separatists because they separated from the Church of England, ruled by a king. They were later contemporaries in the small village of Plymouth Colony, in the New World-America. Generations later two of their descendants fell in love!
