She was stubborn, independent and rebellious, and more than happy to buck society's view of what women could and couldn't do in the 1800s. The interactions between her and Matthias were absolutely delightful. They were supported by many loveable, quirky characters who lived in the mining town, Calvada. There was a real sense of place and the wild-west setting felt real with saloons, brothels, lawlessness and the hardships mining families faced. A great read. ( ) HeatherLINC | Apr 24, 2023 | Rivers says her story ideas are always inspired by questions. “Several [questions] had been on my mind that would work in an 1870s silver mining town with applications for today. Can one person impact an entire community? We’ve all met and watched people who inspire others. We all know people who follow their conscience no matter the cost. What can we do to make life better for those experiencing homelessness? Is there a better, more equitable way to spread the wealth without stealing from one group to give to another?” These serious questions are explored with humor and grace. As this is Rivers’ pandemic book, she says “Life had become too somber to add heaviness to it. We all need to laugh, even when days are dark – maybe even more so during those times. And we all want changes for the better and a happy ending.” This is a book I couldn’t wait to pick up and continue. It includes thoughtful discussion questions and would be great for book groups. I highly recommend it. (  ) PhyllisReads | Jan 28, 2023 | aucune critique | ajouter une critique

When Kathryn Walsh arrives in tiny Calvada, a mining town nestled in the Sierra Nevadas, falling in love is the farthest thing from her mind. Banished from Boston by her wealthy stepfather, she has come to claim an inheritance from the uncle she never knew: a defunct newspaper office on a main street overflowing with brothels and saloons, and a seemingly worthless mine. Moved by the oppression of the local miners and their families, Kathryn decides to relaunch her uncle's newspaper??and then finds herself in the middle of a maelstrom, pitted against Calvada's most powerful men. But Kathryn intends to continue to say??and publish??whatever she pleases, especially when she knows she's right.

Walsh's same tenacity in the beautiful and outspoken redhead??and knows all too well how dangerous that family trait can be. While Kathryn may be right about Calvada's problems, her righteousness could also get her killed. But when the handsome hotelier keeps finding himself on the same side of the issues as the opinionated Miss Walsh, Matthias's restless search for purpose becomes all about answering the call of his heart. Everyone may be looking to strike it rich in this lawless boomtown, but it's a love more precious than gold that will ultimately sa Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |
