A Place Unlike Any Other!
Join widow, Kate, and her young son who live among God’s wonders at our first national park, Yellowstone. Times were cut-throat in 1886 because the government was only allowing a certain number of businesses in the park to remain—and Kate’s hotel is one of the few. Additionally, she tries to protect the natural marvels from hotel guests who want to break off a piece as a souvenir, or who wander too close to the geysers.
The government’s next inspection will determine if Kate gets to keep the hotel open with a ten-year contract, or be forced to leave the land she loves. Pressure is building from another company that will stop at nothing to push her out. Untrue rumors fly that the hotel is dirty with bed bugs, the stage that brings visitors is sabotaged, and her needed supplies are attempted to be cut-off.
Kate welcomes the cavalry who are assigned to protect the park from harm, but will her relationship with Lieutenant Prescott cause the loss of her reputation and her hotel? Will the world’s few remaining buffalo, who have taken refuge in Yellowstone, be killed by poachers?
The use of the natural beauty of the newly formed national park was a great backdrop for this tale. As visitors to geysers and other wonders were experienced for the first time, the advantages and challenges Kate would face during those days were very real, and made a great story. I recommend this 5-star book to those who like a clean romance mixed in with the early days of a national treasure.
