Description

Fleeing hazardous circumstances in New Orleans, Lilly Quinn arrives in hardscrabble and rough Minden Springs, a thrown-together town on the dry prairie of 1870's Kansas. She plans to continue her journey onward to San Francisco, but her chance sighting of Barnett Swan, the only lawman for miles around, gives her pause. She chooses to remain, at least for the time being. Lilly says, "It was only the shortest of encounters, perhaps a minute, but on that much alone, I made the rash decision to retrieve my carpet bag from the stage and extend my stay in this dismal place. That marshal seemed worth investigating." Little does she know that the choice will determine the entire future course of her days. Told in the voice of feisty and independent Lilly, the story encompasses many years and colorful characters. It is full of life, love, shootings, heroes, and villains, an un-putdownable saga of the Old West. Lilly reveals its myths, its sometimes brutal reality, and the way the landscape captures the imaginations and hopes of those who settle there. Or those who simply pass through. "Carolyn E. Cook weaves together an intriguing, heartwarming story of the early West that also portrays an enduring love and romance. I laughed, gasped, and teared up as I got to know the resilient, inimitable Lilly Quinn. A thoroughly enjoyable read!" Barbara Deatherage, retired counselor and nurse"I loved the characters of Lilly and Barnett, the funny lines they said sometimes, and the good advice they gave each other. When I finished the last page, I just sat in my chair and cried because the story was ended and I would miss those people. They'd become like friends." Pat O'Hara, avid reader"Lilly's story lifted me out of the 21st century and carried me back to a time when the West was settled. Thoughtfully constructed. Research was carefully done so that Lilly and the other characters fit well in the society of that era."Anne Kovacs
