River of Light and Shadow
In the tumultuous 1860s, David Whitlock enlists in the hellish Civil War, leaving his wife, Suzanna, to manage the family lumber mill. With a son keeping a Pony Express station in Paiute Indian country and a daughter campaigning for women's rights in mid-century Chicago, Suzanna finds herself a lone woman in a man's world. When reports of her husband’s death place the future of the mill at risk, she battles prejudice, loneliness, and greed to keep the estate intact as she struggles to reunite her scattered family.
Set in what is arguably the most impactful decade in American history, Wild Whistling Blackbirds is a story of courage, love, independence, and resilience--immersing the reader in the fears, hopes, and possibilities that were reshaping a divided nation.
