Family Saga

Two Legacies: The Story Of R.B. Hawkins ©

Everyone has choices. Sam Hawkins was born and bred to live by the legacy of love and caring. Ivy Stevens understood only the legacy of selfishness and hate. Sam's son, Rett B. Hawkins, and Ivy's son, Byce Stevens, are friends in their youth. As Byce becomes a U.S. Senator and R.B. a world acclaimed horseman, flutist and businessman, friends turn into enemies. Set in the worlds of horses, music, and business, this is the story of how their legacy affects each man, his loves and his children.

Book 1 R.B. Hawkins: The Making of a Man

In 1958, at fourteen, faced with grief after his mother's murder, shunned by a father he believes doesn't care about him or his deceased mother, R.B. Hawkins runs away from his Austin, Texas, home. Working on a barge from Houston, he lands in New Orleans.

Three loves drive him: music, horses and girls.

A magnet for girls, he enjoys his first sexual encounter at fifteen, but it takes a woman to teach him the difference between wanton sex and making love. He falls in love with a girl who shares an extrasensory connection with him.

With three young jazz musicians, they play street corners for change. He plays from his soul. The flute is his instrument.

Athletic and equally talented riding horses, he finds a job exercising race horses.
