Sarah Margolis Pearce Livres

Cette auteure s'est consacrée à l'écriture pendant de nombreuses années avant d'établir une carrière d'écrivain. Son travail initial comprenait des nouvelles et des projets de non-fiction, mais elle n'a poursuivi la publication qu'ultérieurement. Au cours d'un programme de doctorat exigeant, elle a réalisé que sa passion pour l'écriture de fiction dépassait le travail universitaire. Cette prise de conscience l'a incitée à revenir à la fiction, où elle a trouvé l'épanouissement et développé sa discipline. Désormais, elle achève fièrement son deuxième roman, reconnaissant l'immense entreprise d'un livre de longue haleine et valorisant sa persévérance.

Mariah Hardwick Penngrove's wagon arrives in Remington River, California, in 1849. Along the way, she lost a husband but developed a backbone. Nothing was going to stop her from living and breathing "the beyond" described by Meriwether Lewis. She kept her mother's copy of The Journals of Lewis and Clark close at hand, ever ready with an appropriate quote for inspiration. Once Mariah saw Hasten Peak, snow-capped and dominating the landscape above Remington River, she knew she had found her Beyond.When she becomes embroiled in a land dispute between the bandit, Pajaro Mendonca, and, Po Fong, Chinatown madam and leader of a notorious tong, Mariah's notion of the wilderness and untouched horizons is turned upside down. At Widow Creek, she finds that decisions are not so straightforward and that trust is a shadowy business.Fast forward to 2015¿ Three weather-worn and inscribed boulders are found on a remote hillside below Hasten Peak. A manuscript that Mariah penned about her days at Widow Creek is uncovered during a search for the meaning behind the boulders. What was left unwritten about the remainder of Mariah's life in Remington River is revealed by a group of historical sleuths. The provenance of the boulders and the legacy left behind pins the past to the present.
