Описание: The year was 1851 and the place was Hangtown, the California mining camp that today is Placerville. It was here that the unpredictable and entertaining story of Zach Johnson's search for gold takes place. Zach, the son of an Episcopal priest, was a gentle man who'd come to Hangtown from Virginia to get rich. What did he do that so many men wanted him dead? It was in Hangtown's El Dorado Hotel that Zach met Claire McCarthy, a feisty, independent beauty. They fell in love, but their bond frayed when Zach couldn't accept that Claire was a prostitute. What happened to the relationship? Hangtown is an action-packed adventure of personal growth that combines history, intrigue, and romance to create a gripping tale. Hangtown is for mature readers. The story contains sexual content and moderate language.

Описание: THE RANKINS OF PRATT COUNTY

In 1982, teenager Russell Rankin is viewed as smart and mature beyond his years until an impulsive and faulty decision brought on by a family crisis lands him in police custody.

While lodged in juvenile detention, Russell is impacted by unexpected personal loss. As part of the Juvenile Court's disposition, he agrees to temporarily relocate from the urban Midwest to a small town nestled in North Carolina's Blue Ridge Mountains.

A highly religious widowed grandmother takes Russell into her care, and during the early months of his stay, family tragedy strikes again that further tests Russell's resiliency.

Russell's interim family and adoptive community rally to his aide. During his ongoing transition, a first love evolves as he learns to trust and willingly embrace his new surroundings.
Eventually, he thrives as both student and athlete.

Upon high school graduation, college and career intervene out of state.

Seizing an employment opportunity in his early-forties, Russell returns to Pratt County to work and raise his young family where he faces surprisingly unresolved issues, which further test his character and integrity.
