Description

"An unexpected journey of the heart. The was is over and Sarah Mayfield has put the sorrows of her life in Virginia behind her. On the strength of three letters she has traveled by railroad, riverboat and stagecoach to meet her new life out west. Grady McGuire, her intended and the author of those letters, though formally dressed and still holding a bouquet of wilted prairie flowers, is unfortunately passed out drunk in a buckboard behind the saloon. That new life isn't beginning quite as she envisioned it. As she attempts to salvage the promises they made to each other, she fins herself involved with others in town with their own stories to tell: Addison Pruitt, Sarah's saving grace, owns the very fine Russell Hotel and keeps the irritating John Russell close as she spends his money. Diego, the Mexican hotel cook possessed of an exquisite repertoire of French dishes, has a secret that he hopes never sees the light of day. Jim, Booker and the boy Abraham, Grady's long-suffering hands, are her new family. They run the ranch Grady didn't intend to inherit and love him even though they can't keep him out of trouble. Ellen, Grady's strong-willed mother, likes under a headstone out by the river but won't quiet stay dead. And last but not least, there is Elijah Blue, a member of the tribes who rode horses and drove cattle with Grady from the time they were barely out of childhood, and is now waiting to see if his friend can make amends with the woman from the east, the one in the black traveling dress covered with dust, the one that he noticed the minute she stepped down off the stage. Sarah realizes that she is waiting for something too, though she can't bring herself to admit what it is." --Back cover.
