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

The Handmaid's Tale

See customer reviews Product details of  The Handmaid's Tale Now a Hulu Original Series, premiering in April The Handmaid's Tale  is a novel of such power that the reader will be unable to forget its images and its forecast. Set in the near future, it describes life in what was once the United States and is now called the Republic of Gilead, a monotheocracy that has reacted to social unrest and a sharply declining birthrate by reverting to, and going beyond, the repressive intolerance of the original Puritans. The regime takes the Book of Genesis absolutely at its word, with bizarre consequences for the women and men in its population. The story is told through the eyes of Offred, one of the unfortunate Handmaids under the new social order. In condensed but eloquent prose, by turns cool-eyed, tender, despairing, passionate, and wry, she reveals to us the dark corners behind the establishment's calm facade, as certain tendencies now in existence are ...
