Meadowlark

Winner of the National Reader's Choice Award Becky White is out of options. Destitute, alone, and pregnant, employment in a brothel seems her only chance of survival in the wild west mining town of South Pass City. As she stands on the creek bank contemplating the unthinkable, fate takes a hand. The earth crumbles beneath her feel and pitches her into the raging torrent. Unable to fight the high spring run-off, she surrenders to the flood, thinking death might be the best solution after all.When Garrick Swenson saves a young woman from drowning, he realizes providence has given him a way to atone for his guilty past. He offers Becky and her baby the protection of his name, with no strings attached. Just as they find themselves wanting a true marriage in every sense of the word the past surfaces to tear them apart. With Garrick facing the hangman-s noose and Becky-s future uncertain, it appears not even love can conquer all. Publisher's Note: This is part of the award-winning Meadowlark Trilogy which includes MEADOWLARK, SILVER SPRINGS and WILD HONEY. All three novels can be read as "stand-alone" novels.
