Publisher's Summary:
Francesca di Paoli, an immigrant fallen on hard times, reaches what she hopes is a safe haven in Jackson Hole in June 1925, only to narrowly miss dying in the historic Gros Ventre landslide. Hired as a cook at the Snake River Dude Ranch, she and the rest of the valley inhabitants watch a new lake form along a dammed river. Poised above homes and ranches, will the 300 foot wall of debris hold back the waters?
Over the next two years of the Roaring 20s, Francescas fate entwines with the Sutton family who own the ranch. The firstborn, William, appears to be the steady one, but harbors a longing to be seen as more than the owner's son. Bryce, believing his parents care more for William, spends time away from home... until he decides to compete with his brother for Francesca. Tensions rise as Bitter Waters, the Nez Perce uncle of the Sutton men comes to the ranch to die, raking up secrets of their heritage and attracting the attention of the Ku Klux Klan. In the valley, ranchers clash over a controversial proposal to make Jackson Hole a new National Park... and residents continue to fear the unstable slide block as earth tremors shake its foundation. Swept up in the floodtide of history, what will become of Francesca, William, and Bryce?
Members Reviews:
Excellent Western Historical and Action
Outstanding Teton and Yellowstone settings with fascinating portrayal of historical events with engaging action. The characters in Jacob's story seem real and the love story unfolds to steal your heart for the heroine and the two brothers who love her. Linda Jacobs is an excellent writer. If you love the land as character you will enjoy and treasure this book.
Another exciting historical novel by a talented author.
As with the other Yellowstone novels there is much to be learned. The history is interesting and the stories are very well written.
A fun and educational read!
It is such fun to read about both the history and geology of what is now a National Park. Linda just melds all the aspects of this region into a readable and fascinating tale. All of her Yellowstone series has been riveting, and full of variety of people, years, subjects and settings. I am so glad that a former supervisor in the National Park Service turned me on to her books! What a delight she is!
