WHEN WE WERE YOUNG

BOOK FOUR: REAL WARRIORS (Sequel to Knight Moves)

The courage of a warrior is a must on their new path, or they’ll never grasp their happily ever after.

Blurb: Just when eighteen-year-old Billy Redsky believes he’s holding his happily ever after in the palm of his hand, he must practice what he’s learned in ceremony to face two more tests—share with the world his love for René, and let go of the past.

But that’s not so easy. René is terrified of exposing their secret to anyone else but his family. As for Billy’s brother, he has no intention of changing his criminal ways.

Only a miracle can help Billy reach his final destination on the red road his Ojibway ancestors once walked. For his dream to come true, he must look deep inside of himself and trust the creator he follows.
