A novel by Cora Leland
1873. When Violet Synge was fired as a maid in Cincinnati, she headed straight for Colorado’s Rocky Mountains. She never dreamed that she'd live there. Her next shock was a job offer to bake bread. A lively redhead of seventeen, she grew popular at the Sugarloaf bakery.
Handsome Dave Clery, hostler at Sugarloaf Orphanage, was caught in a snowstorm driving his boss to the new baker. He & Violet literally hit it off the minute he walked in. Doing everything possible to stay together, their lives grew strained. First was a month long locust attack, but the stampeding herds of starving cattle and their crafty owners sent their love spiraling out of control.
Victims of a huge double cross, Violet tried to forget their love. Confused and scared, she dragged herself back to Sugarloaf. Will Dave convince her to marry him? Will she always remain a broken woman? Or will she stagger home to Cincinnati?
