reviewed on + 17 more book reviews


A historian, heartbroken and broken in body, searches for meaning through the reseraching of his grandmother's biography. A study of this woman, whose life led from the cultural salons of the East to the mud streets of mining towns on the Western frontiers, reveals a family tragedy and fragile reconciliation of sorts...one that may help strenghten him in the path of forgiveness he must follow to repair his personal tragedies.
