The Lady’s Mine
by Francine Rivers
Miss Kathryn Walsh from Boston lands in Calvada, a rough and
tumble mining town. She is there to
collect her uncle’s inheritance. Even
though this town is not what she thought she was coming to find, she decides to
stay. Mattias Beck, a saloon owner and
leading citizen somehow feels responsible for her. They butt heads on many occasions. Kathryn insists on doing what she sees as right
while Mattias tries to protect her. Only
time will tell if Kathryn will live long enough to make a difference in the
town that is both fascinated and aggravated by her.
Francine Rivers creates some remarkable characters. I found myself surprised by their actions and
never being quite sure what they would do next.
The plot, though a bit predictable, kept me reading. The setting, a western mining town, was interesting
to read about. It made me think what
life would be like in such a place at such a time.
Westerns or romances are not my preferred genre, but I
enjoyed this book. Francine Rivers’ fans
will find much to enjoy. I am grateful
to the publisher for a copy to read in exchange for this, my honest
review.
