Copper Halo at Mustang PassBy Cindy M. AmosDescription:
Miner Argus Drury rescues a comely red-haired traveler when a laden cargo breaks loose at the steamboat wharf along the Missouri River at Fort Benton in spring of 1886. Claretta Lovell arrives in Montana Territory as escort to her betrothed cousin Rebekah, but is burdened by her father’s dowry—a gristmill’s grinding stone. On the way to Mustang Pass, Claretta auditions in a talent show, which lures Argus back to Helena with a full entourage to watch her compete. A crisis arises before the final round, leaving Argus and his best friend Chance Mullan to take matters into their own hands—a risk that could sidetrack their noble attempt to land the county seat designation for Mustang Pass. Book Takeaway:God can match two hearts despite differences and bring the couple together for his glory. Why the author wrote this book:To represent the hardships of mining life in Montana Territory prior to statehood and interweave the role of friendship in a romance. |
