About the Book

A young Irishman is an indentured saddle and yoke apprentice for an elderly master. The young boy is named John Lockridge; the elderly master is Master Haughton. One day, John has a brilliant idea for a new winning saddle. He has created a winner. Master Haughton was horrified when he began to explain a new saddle that was even more advanced than the design that Master Haughton’s leather shop was working on. Soon, John’s saddle began to win. The Irish racing mobsters took notice. The new saddle wins so many races that the mobsters had a contract on John’s head. His father offered Britt, an Englishman, a lot of money to take John back to England, along with his winning saddle. John and Britt went on their way to England.

About the Author

Mr. Berryhill has created a wonderfully themed novel of homespun historical fiction that strives to a triumphed cause with cleverly mingled subplots. With overwhelming challenges, a needy cast of elderly characters, who lead simple lives, will approach a major set of controversial life-changing circumstances. A climatic resolution is only possible with the creative portrayal of clever and yet compelling approaches of problem solving. Overcoming obstacles with careful tact and social acceptance will eventually result in a rags-to-riches change in socio-economic rights. Other works by the same author include The Treehouse Society and soon-to-be-released novels Mansions of Fire, Bullknuckle Inn, The House of Arla Roe, and Isle of the Wind, by the same publisher.
