Paperback / softback
Description
(Clean western) Winner: 2016 International Book Award, 2016 Laramie Award finalist, and Literary Classics Seal of Approval. What if you returned from a journey and your family was gone, someone else was living in your house-and trying to kill you?
Is the drifter her ally or her enemy? A gusty woman and a Latino man, both searching for missing family, clash amid a Nevada silver rush scheme that leaves each unsure who to trust-and scrambling to stay alive. You'll love this story for the genuine conflict (and mistakes) a person lives with when they don't have all the facts.
Set in the historic Nevada silver rush, the writing comes from intimate knowledge of the territory. Having lived off the land, Wilcox depended on his wit, grit, and strength (and his animals) for survival-just as his characters do. He and Beckstrand weave authentic detail, care for the terrain and its creatures, and folksy vernacular into a romantic mystery that will make your heart pound and fill your lungs with the rarefied air of the old Sierra Nevada Mountains.
Stand alone with bonus short story. Diverse characters, family safe (ages 14 & up), 54,000 words, 200 pages, 5.25"x8" paperback, strong female protagonist, Latino character, American Indian. Simultaneously published as To Swallow the Earth (New Adult/Y.A. survival western, also a Young Adult audiobook and ebook-soon a graphic novel).
