Season of Forgiveness: A Novel

Emma Johnson is a little woman with a big heart who knows how to ride, shoot, love and pray. This Historical/Western/Romance novel shows us how women survived in the West, especially in the gold-rush boom towns of the Colorado Rocky Mountains. Into fictitious Riverbend of 1904, dominated by gold assessors, saloons, and brothels, families begin arriving. Conflicts arise between miners, land owners, bankers, railroad tycoons, Indians, and lawmen. Then one ranching woman makes a big difference for a lot of people. Get to know Emma Johnson, her cowboy husband, their rambunctious tribe of boys, and the abandoned, abused, young women Emma helps rescue and restore. As hope, beauty, and romance blossom, a nefarious plot is uncovered, and the women learn the meaning of forgiveness. Enjoy this first novel in the new fiction series, Seasons in Riverbend.
