An adventure 108 years in the making! Wade Forester must stay in the shadows because, it seems, everyone has reason to shoot him. His father has disappeared, and his sister won't speak a word to anyone. Beautiful Patricia Laughlin is searching for her family as well. Few people gain her trust or approval, though powerful landowner Bridger Calhoun just might be the man to do it. After a clash throws them to opposite sides, Wade must decide if risking his life to help Patricia is worth the trouble. Bridger must win Patricia's heart, and Patricia must learn which killer to trust with her life. Set in Nevada's silver rush, and reminiscent of Twain, the writing comes from intimate knowledge of the era and area. Having lived off the land, Wilcox depended on his wit, grit, and strength-and that of his animals-for survival, just as these characters do. Wilcox masterfully weaves authentic detail and care for the soil and its creatures into a mystery that will make your heart pound and fill your lungs with the "rarefied air" of the old Sierra Nevadas. Comes with additional short story. Family safe (ages 14 & up), diverse characters, 54,000 words, simultaneously published as A Sky So Big (also an ebook and audiobook).
