The Tin Box - A Story of Texas Cattle and Oil

Set in the 1950s Texas oil boom, The Tin Box chronicles the mysterious secrets held within an abandoned metal container. When rancher Tom Meredith discovers the battered box floating down a flooded river, he has no idea the truths and betrayals it contains will alter the course of his family’s destiny.

As Daisi Pollard’s great-grandfather first documented in the original novel, the tin box’s journey is guided by an unseen hand toward revealing long-buried deception. How was Tom’s daughter June robbed of her inheritance? And by what manipulation did a heartless schemer enrich himself through the downfall of others?

Daisi’s additions of an introduction, prologue and preface provide historical context for the sweeping saga that follows – one of ranch intrigues, cutthroat business tactics, and a love triangle between June’s suitors: a shrewd financier and daring ranch hand. As Daisi’s writing revives this vintage western story for modern readers, the rediscovered tin box serves both as Pandora’s box, unleashing turmoil, and container of answers long submerged in the rich yet perilous landscape of Texas’ oil boom.
