FINDING HOME
An epic journey through loss, love and the promise of a new era.
In the crucible of a rapidly changing world, Jasper P. Whittington III embarks on a journey that will test his resilience, reshape his understanding of family, and ultimately redefine what it means to find a home. Abandoned as an infant on a church doorstep in 1897 Oklahoma Territory, Jasper grows up with little more than his name and an insatiable thirst for knowledge fueled by the novels of his youth.
Set against the backdrop of a burgeoning industrial age, this sweeping saga takes Jasper from the quiet streets of small-town America to the frontiers of technological innovation—and the devastation of industrialized war. As he faces harrowing trials and heart-stirring triumphs, Jasper learns the cost of adventure, the pain of loss, and the healing power of human connection.
From the humble acts of kindness that shape a life to the resilience found in the darkest of moments, Finding Home is a poignant exploration of the enduring strength of the human spirit. With richly drawn characters, evocative historical settings, and timeless themes of love, hope, and redemption, this novel is perfect for fans of historical fiction and heartfelt family dramas.
Available in Paperback and eBook.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Jon West
Born and raised in southwest Oklahoma, Jon discovered his passion for storytelling at an early age. Immersed in the tales of ghosts, frontier life, and family adventures shared by the elders of his close-knit community, he developed a rich imagination and a love for crafting narratives. Solitude often became a source of creative inspiration, nurturing his talent for storytelling.
Jon’s perspective broadened during his decade-long military service in Europe. The camaraderie of service life and the vibrant cultures he experienced left a lasting impact, enriching his storytelling with depth and authenticity.
Jon enjoys a fulfilling life, finding joy in family, love, and dedication to the arts. Alongside his wife and creative partner, Amanda, he has embraced writing as his chosen form of expression.
Drawing from a lifetime of diverse experiences—from the wide-open landscapes of Oklahoma to the bustling streets of Madrid—Jon crafts stories that blend sincerity and imagination. While he may indulge in occasional embellishments, his work remains firmly rooted in passion, truth, and a profound respect for the art of storytelling.
My stories are mostly true and always entertaining.
