1883, San Antonio. John Ives, the privileged son of a powerful tycoon, is sent to oversee his family’s ventures in the brutal swamps of Tampico, Mexico. But a fateful return to Texas instead sets him on a collision course with Stella Moore, a fiercely independent schoolteacher searching for her missing sister, and Peter Olenbush, a reckless ally with his own secrets.
As corruption festers in the shadows of progress, John’s quest for redemption is haunted by his family’s dark legacy and a murder that refuses to stay buried. In a city simmering with violence, greed, and betrayal, John must navigate the dangerous intersections of love, guilt, and survival.
For fans of sweeping historical dramas and morally complex characters, The Wounds of My Father is a masterful tale of ambition, atonement, and the devastating cost of lies.
