Synopsis: Wilhelmina Sukovich is curious and determined to have her own By Line in the Sacramento Bee. Aged out at the Children’s Home Society orphanage, she attends night school and works herself up in the newspaper hierarchy. Her first big break comes as an assignment takes her to the small mountain town of San Andreas in the Gold Country of the Sierra Nevada Mountains. She searches out her father’s gravesite only to mysteriously be drawn to the artistry of an ancient tombstone nearby, Eliza Osbourne, 1868. Formidable ranchers and a widow befriend her in her quest to fulfill her assignment for school children and search for Eliza ’s roots. World War II veteran, Charles, rescues Will from her misadventures. Who is he and why is he such a recluse? Why has he taken it upon himself to see she is safe?
My Thoughts: This was an interesting and entertaining read. This is a story about a young woman trying to find herself and her purpose in life.
The reader instantly falls in love with the main character Wilhelmina Suckovich. She's had a lonely life without family living in an orphanage. Now that she has come of age, she is on her own searching to see where life is going to take her.
In this story-line "Will" meets some interesting supporting characters that take the reader on adventures . There are twists and surprises in the plot, which keeps the readers' interest.
The characters in this story were real to life, You had the small town gossipers, as well as veterans dealing with PTSD, or shell-shock they called it back then. I could imagine each character in my mind.
Anyone who enjoys a mystery with a little romance and humor this book is for you!
