A crooked path [large print] an Eden Plain novel / Annette Smith.

Summary:

Abandoned by his father when he was a boy, Manny Ortega has made the journey from Mexico to Texas to find work and support his family. Now in his mid thirties, Manny works at the Eden Plain cattle ranch for Owen Green, a cranky, prejudiced man who suffers from a chronic illness. Yet over time, Owen and Manny forge a relationship that mirrors that of a father and son. But their friendship is strained by the arrival of Owen's daughter, Chaney, when she and Manny fall in love. Their relationship reveals Owen's deeply hidden issues involving race and class, while a tragic accident threatens to shatter any hope of reconciliation. Can the relationship be restored before it's too late and Manny loses yet another father?
