Gwen, Beth, and Lacy Gallatin fashion a life for themselves in the Montana wilds, operating a roadhouse that is located at the crossroads of two major stage lines. When their father is accidentally killed, the oldest sister, Gwen, reasons that she's cursed. After all, death seems to haunt her: her mother, now her father...and she was married for a mere ten days before her husband died from a bout of measles.

As Gwen and her sisters struggle to maintain the inn on their own, an unexpected visitor adds to the mayhem. Hank Bishop claims to be searching for something in the possession of Gwen's late husband. But mayhem of another sort builds in Gwen's heart as she finds a growing attraction to this man. Can she dare to hope that love might again be hers?

Editorial Reviews

From Booklist
*Starred Review* The Gallatin sisters are all alone in the world, and there’s no one but the three of them to run the family hotel in the wild Montana territory. Gwen, the oldest, figures it’s her fault they’re in this situation—she feels she’s been cursed by God. Her mother has passed away. Her groom, Harvey, succumbed to measles only 10 days after their wedding. And now Gwen’s father, whom she sent on an errand, is the victim of a drunken shooting spree. It’s hard enough for Gwen, Beth, and Lacy to manage their business, but they must also keep their property from the clutches of Rafe Reynolds, who owns the adjacent saloon/bordello. Then Hank Bishop appears, claiming to be Harvey’s brother. Since Harvey told Gwen that he was an orphan and an only child, Hank is a mystery. Unforgettable characters, from Major, a dog mourning his master’s death, to Lacey, who refuses to conform to society’s norms, enhance this poignant story of Gwen’s journey back to hope and love. This is the first book in Peterson’s Brides of Gallatin County trilogy. --Shelley Mosley

Huckleberry Finn By Mark Twain

Huckleberry Finn By Mark Twain Amazon Sales Rank: #588776 in eBooks Published on: 2015-02-09 Released on: 2015-02-09 Format: Kindle eBook See Customer reviews, Rating and Buy. Editorial Reviews Amazon.com Review Mark Twain's classic novel,  The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn , tells the story of a teenaged misfit who finds himself floating on a raft down the Mississippi River with an escaping slave, Jim. In the course of their perilous journey, Huck and Jim meet adventure, danger, and a cast of characters who are sometimes menacing and often hilarious. Though some of the situations in  Huckleberry Finn  are funny in themselves (the cockeyed Shakespeare production in Chapter 21 leaps instantly to mind), this book's humor is found mostly in Huck's unique worldview and his way of expressing himself. Describing his brief sojourn with the Widow Douglas after she adopts him, Huck says: "After supper she got out her book and learned me about M...
