In the 1880's, young Addie leaves her home in the rolling hills of Texas at the side of Fett Loveland despite the pleading of her family. Following him across the vast and open country of unsettled territory, she finds herself far from home when the unthinkable happens.

Now alone with no means to get herself home, Addie travels farther into the Nevada territory to take a job as a housekeeper to the Brady family, hoping to earn stage fare back to her own people in Texas.

Below the Independance Mountains she bears her burden of grief and loneliness. Addie finds in the desert and sage a desolation and hopelessness the soul cannot bear alone, with nothing but grit and determination to help her survive the harshness of life on a remote homestead.

As a brutal winter unfolds, Addie finds comfort in unexpected places; the Brady boys who mourn the loss of their mother, and, in particular, a gray horse who haunts her dreams and waking hours.

Winner of the Will Rogers Bronze Medallion for Western Inspirational Fiction, Addie shows us that when we are most alone, we are never alone as we think. Addie celebrates the strength and dignity of the human spirit as it reaches to accept the confusing will of God.

In the summer of 1918, Louise Thompson and her grandmother, Althea, endeavored to do the impossible: start one-hundred-thirty head of army remount horses alone.  

The loss of her father, and her two brothers’ enlistment in WWI, forces Louise to face losing the Slash T, the Thompson family’s ranch in the Great Basin of Northern Nevada. In one last, desperate attempt to endure another year, Louise takes on the challenge of saving the ranch with the one thing they have. Horses.

 With no men available, and no money for a crew, Louise hires two like-spirited women. Taking the job is Retha Remsey, a childhood friend, and Flying Bea Taylor, a flat track jockey working her way to California.

Beginning with the gather, to first rides on renegade horses, the four women form an unbreakable bond of sisterhood. Together they’ll face their greatest challenge; taking the started remount prospects nearly 800 miles to Fort Mackenzie in Sheridan, Wyoming.  

With horses an impressive catalyst, the women learn to find freedom in embracing the impossible. An uplifting story of courage from Will Roger’s Inspirational Fiction Medallion winning author, Lyn Miller.

In 1892 Colorado, the silver boom is on, drawing fortune seekers from all walks of life. Known as the Silver Thread, the boom town of Creede springs up along the route in the din of lawlessness. With hired guns the only law enforcement, law is open to the highest bidder’s interpretation. The town of Creede is known for never sleeping, with no policemen to interfere with the vested right of each citizen to raise as much Cain as he sees fit.

Among those who hope to find their fortune is Emil Hoyt, a St. Louis banker, and his beautiful, though much younger, wife, Elizabeth. Along with his business partner, Hoyt opens a large bank in the city of Creede, hoping to capitalize on the silver rush through business instead of mining. Quickly he settles himself among the state’s most prominent businessmen.

His young wife, Elizabeth, however, remains a mystery to those in Creede. Like fine porcelain, Elizabeth is kept from view and is only seen in situations of high society. Elizabeth herself knows that often what is seen isn’t what it appears to be, finding the lawlessness of frontier Colorado hard to understand.

With high society a hard standard, Elizabeth finds herself drawn to the lower classes, among those who keep her real identity a secret. The working class reveals a side of life Elizabeth hasn’t seen before, and she begins to volunteer at a hospital for prostitutes run by a despised Irish priest.

At the peak of summer, a silver shipment is robbed, capitulating the town full of ethnic diversity into a crashing downward spiral. To make matters worse, when an upper class woman is brutally murdered, Elizabeth is thrust forefront in a hasty trial.

In a novel where no good deed goes unpunished, the reader finds a realistic look at life in a frontier boom town, the cost of high hopes and shattered dreams. From two-time Will Rogers Medallion Award winning author, Lyn Miller, comes Wild Lament.
