Linda Weaver Clarke's first book, Melinda and the Wild West, was a semifinalist for the Reviewers Choice Award 2007."Clarke displays an easy and excellent style of writing, blending adventure,
romance, history, humor, and courage. A Family Saga in Bear Lake, Idaho is an instant classic and should put this author on the literary map all over the world. A MUST read!" -Page One Literary
Book Review "This is good Christian fiction. Ms. Clarke, this is a piece to be proud of. Well done!" -Debra Gaynor, Reader Views "For anyone who likes to read classic-styled romance novels that
also have a drop of history, this is the book for you. It is very easy to picture the scene you are reading. Clarke was able to write about love in a soft fashion. I was impressed with the
eloquence in which Clarke spun her story. It was dramatic in some spots and yet contained simply-placed bits of humor." -Melynda Gascoyne, the Amherst Bee, Buffalo, New York With mysterious
letters, cattle rustlers, a spunky woman, the liar's fire, Halloween, and young love, there is always something happening. It is 1904 and Melinda is "with child" and threatening to miscarry.
Her cousin Edith, a nurse, moves to Paris to care for her. Edith has wonderful qualities but never gives a man a second chance because her expectations are so high. However, all that changes
when a mysterious stranger begins to write to her. For the first time, she gets to know a man's inner soul before making any harsh judgments. Whoever he is, this man is a mystery and the best
thing that has ever happened to her. The question that puzzles her is whether or not he's as wonderful in person as he is in his letters.
