When the Orphan Train delivers three-year-old Kenneth Douglas Hardin to San Antonio, Texas, in 1870, Sheriff Chisholm knows that this towheaded little boy, abandoned by his mother and five siblings, is destined for greatness.

The boy becomes Kenneth Douglas of Texas and is adopted by Father Ortega, a Mexican priest who runs the Mission of the Son of San Antonio. Under Ortegas guidance and with the help of Mr. Yang, a Chinese immigrant, Kenneth learns the necessities of life and more.

At age eighteen, hes named a deputy and quickly becomes a legend, nicknamed Boy Deputy of San Antonio by the press. The Texas Rangers eventually recruit Kenneth to help dispel the dark cloud of violence that rumbles through the Wild West. Kenneths primary concern, however, is the safety of his wife, Marie, and their daughter, Lilliana.

A work of historical fiction, The Guardian narrates the story of Kenneth Douglas, particularly his dedication to law enforcement and helping others even when his heart is heavy. A famous Texas Ranger, he helps free a nation as a member of Teddy Roosevelts Rough Riders and fights for the heart of a Panamanian princess.
