Yesterday's Gold: Western Time Travel
O ovoj e-knjizi
Daisy insists on bringing her incontinent dog. And the trip becomes impossibly complicated when her mother invites her difficult friend, Elvira, along.
A bridge collapses, and suddenly Hannah and her irritating companions are in Barkerville.
But it's 1868, the height of the Cariboo gold rush. They have to accept accommodation from a saloonkeeper named Logan McGraw, a mysterious, handsome man who fought in the American Civil War, and who has a secret agenda for being in Barkerville.
Hannah and her companions soon learn that women have no rights in this time and place.
The three women are stubborn, intrepid, and imaginative. They set out to bring a semblance of women's liberation to the primitive and harsh conditions, always hoping to return to their own time.
Hannah, who was about to be married, finds that now she's falling in love, and the man she loves is accused of murder, a hanging offence.
Can a modern-day woman trapped in a long ago time find a way to save him?
Western historical time-travel at its best!
O autoru
Best-selling writer Bobby Hutchinson writes stories about almost everything, as long as everything involves romance, quirky people, outrageous kids, deafness, time travel, or medicine, with most of which she's familiar.
(Well, maybe not time travel. But who knows?)
She lives in a funky little cottage in Cranbrook, B.C., a small city in the Canadian Rockies. In the summer, she hauls her very small travel trailer, Calamity Jane, to campgrounds. In the winter, she hibernates.
She faints at the sight of blood, although her best-selling medical romance series, Emergency, does have the occasional scene involving bodily fluids.
She's written over 60 books, mostly romance, with a few memoirs tossed in. How Not To Run A B&B, set in Vancouver, was chosen by the Kootenay Library Association as Best Book of the Year, and is now being made into a film.
She lives in the land of possibility. And she's now writing faster than ever, because at 83, who knows when she'll head off to seek the Great Perhaps?
