Opis

A limestone statue of a striking young woman is buried and lost for nearly thirty years-a broken statue representing shattered lives and shattered dreams. The story of the statue is one of love, greed, power, and lost aspirations. The statue symbolizes what was and what could have been-a tale of a great oil empire betrayed, destroying the lives of the family who built it. This intriguing story captures the wild risk-taking, broken lives, and the lavish lifestyles of the gilded age of the early oil industry. The story is based on the real-life legacy of oil-baron E.W. Marland, who made and lost a fortune in the oilfields of northern Oklahoma, and the tragic story of Lydie Marland. E. W. Marland survived a notorious marriage to become a United States congressman and the 10th governor of Oklahoma. The Broken Statue reveals the determination, grit, successes, and frustrations of E.W. Marland and the tragic challenges he left for his young widow. Other Bob Perry novels include Mimosa Lane, Brothers of the Cross Timber, The Nephilim Code, Guilt's Echo, and Lydie's Ghost.
