The Painted Sky series features eight stories set in the American West, all published in 2013. Each book follows different characters facing the challenges of frontier life, from outlaws and preachers to widows and wanderers, all under the vast skies of the open range.
Murray Pura uses the western setting to explore questions of faith, justice, and second chances. The series ranges from quiet romances to more action-driven stories, but all share his interest in how people find meaning and redemption in hard circumstances.
