THE FIRST: A Novel by bestselling author C. G. Cooper

What if there was a place for heroes to come home, to heal, to rediscover their hope and heart and purpose in the world?

There is, and the name is Lone Peak Ranch. Let the miracles and healing begin.

Lone Peak Ranch was a place where heroes once came and now come again, bidden and called. They found healing, brotherhood, love, and happiness. THE FIRST is a story about Jack and Sadie, Ricky and Betsy. Separated by decades, their stories written through battle and hardship, from Guadalcanal to Big Sky, Montana, where will their fates collide, and what will this place of seeming coincidence become to each one of them? Who is the mysterious benefactor who has reopened the gates of Lone Peak Ranch and given a new line of heroes a chance at a new life? Read on and see . . .

- NOTE FROM THE AUTHOR -

Dear Reader,

Not long ago, I read an article about World War II and a partnership between the U.S. Military and the U.S. National Park Service. The result was the establishment of rest and recuperation (R&R) camps within American national parks for returning veterans. There was even a naval hospital inside Yellowstone. Who knew?

So my mind wandered . . .

Then I visited Big Sky, Montana and the pieces came together. A place once magic and healing would one day be again. That's where my story began, where words flowed onto the page. What happened next was a search into the meaning of heroes, a quest to find self and a deeper gratitude for all that life has to give. Two sets of characters came to life: one from the 1940s and one in the present. A Marine and an amazing woman in each.

For me, this story (and hopefully many more books IF you end up liking them) was about digging into the shared sacrifice of heroes and their loved ones. What does it mean to be a hero? Who do we go to for help? What does a worthwhile life look like? And what if hero roles are reversed?

I hope I've done each of these characters justice and I hope you see part of yourself or a loved one in each of them. If not, maybe you'll just enjoy a good story that doesn't mind taking a splash in the pool of hope and wonder. Because that's what I did while writing, and that's what I plan to do going forward.

Here's to the hero in each one of us, and here's to you and the wonders you have yet to spread, my friend.

Let me know what you think,
C. G. Cooper
