Some men are born brothers; others become brothers through experiences. Arty, Lance, and Gill share an unbreakable bond tested by their common desire for a woman of charm and beauty, but with secrets that will test their camaraderie. Their friendship is forged in the Cross Timber, an ancient forest separating the vast plains of western Oklahoma from the wooded hills of the east. The thick woodland was described by Washington Irving as "The Cast Iron Forest" because it was so difficult to traverse. Indians native to the plains called it "The Emerald Wall." Set against the backdrop of the Great Railroad Strike of 1922, Brothers of the Cross Timber describes the challenges families faced in the mass migration from the farm to the cities in the early twentieth century. As the "brothers" find their place in a changing and uncertain world, they learn trust is the enduring element to friendship.
