California, 1848. She was warned not to go after him. That no woman could survive alone in gold rush California. That her missing husband was surely dead. But Grace Randolph knows James isn't just missing, he's being held captive by one of the most powerful men in the territory. And her marriage - forged on the perilous Oregon trail, tested by her husband's war service and the lawlessness of the gold fields - is worth fighting for. As she saddles up her horse and frets over the plan a final time, she reminds herself she has shot a man before, survived the hardship of the trail, rebuilt their life after a fire destroyed everything they had. She has never stopped loving her husband, even on those nights when he lay beside her, inches away but somehow unreachably distant. Now she must cross mountains to rescue him - and save her marriage. A story of courage, redemption and the unbreakable strength of a woman's heart. Fans of The Paper Palace, Where the Crawdads Sing and A Girl Called Samson will be captivated by this breathtaking love story.
Autorenporträt
Imogen writes sweeping, historical fiction set in the US. As a teenager she took the Greyhound bus from San Francisco to New York. Over those three days of staring out of the window at the majestic mountains and endless flat plains, stories wound themselves into her head: tales of brooding, charismatic men captivated by independent young women. Since then, Imogen has worked in a coffee-shop in Piccadilly, a famous bookshop and a children's home. She has run festivals and turned a derelict housing block on one of the poorest estates in the UK into an award-winning arts centre. During 2020 Imogen was selected by Kate Nash Literary Agency as one of their BookCamp mentees, a new mentorship programme designed to accelerate the careers of promising new writers. Married with two daughters, Imogen divides her time between Wales and Sardinia.
