Only When the Loon Sings
Searching for true happiness, Morgan Prescott answers a brides wanted ad, and leaves the high society life in New York City for Washington Territory, but loses her heart to the one man she can never have.
Private investigator and Union Pacific Railroad major stockholder, Luke Kincaid goes undercover as the logging camp’s foreman to apprehend the railroad’s saboteurs. All he needs is a mock wife to strengthen his act, but once he agrees to Morgan filling the roll, he finds himself longing for much more---for a love he’s forbidden to accept or give.
This story, set in 1880, has multiple themes of learning acceptance, forgiveness, and against all odds, love conquers all. My heroine struggles to be accepted for herself, but must first learn to see past the surface of others in order to accept them for what they truly are. If you’re familiar with loons of any kind, I’m sure you’ll enjoy them throughout the book. If you’re unfamiliar with these primitive birds, I hope you’ll not only find them interesting, but extremely fascinating as well.
The other aspect in my novel deals with ALS(Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis) or Lou Gehrig’s Disease. This disease is near and dear to my heart as I’ve cared for many who have been struck down by its affliction. Especially one very special lady who fought hard and strong, and was the first person with ALS to give birth via C-section(to my knowledge). I’m in hopes that this novel will bring awareness to those who are unacquainted with this fatal disease.
And last, but not least, I hope you all enjoy a good laugh at all the antics my heroine, Morgan, goes through in learning what many would call the basic skills of everyday living, especially in the wilds of Washington Territory.
