Publisher Description

From the master of the western comes a tale of love tested by the rugged life of the American Southwest. Carley Burch, a beautiful young woman, must leave her glamorous high-society life of New York to follow her fiance, Glenn Kilbourne, to the rugged Wild West. She braves fierce ruffians, brutal elements, and lack of civilization in an attempt to reclaim him. Glenn, suffering from shell shock and the betrayal of his country following World War I, had moved west to recover. He then fell in love with the West, and his perspective on life was changed forever. Glenn now finds his previous high-society life repulsive. Can Carley adapt to the rigorous life of the West? Will she be able to convince Glenn to return to his "home" in New York? Will she be in time before a rival temptress steals Glenn away?

"Perhaps if I had been born in 1900 I would have been able to grasp all of the references to the issues of the day. It turned out properly in the end, for which I'm thankful. I hate it when I struggle through a book and it doesn't end well."

    " Re-read this in an e-reader format. It was less interesting and more "preachy" than I had remembered. If one likes to read endlessly about why women should marry and have children as the highest calling imaginable, go for it. Otherwise, it isn't worth it. "
