Highly regarded Sharon Ihle provides a fantastic western romance starring two wonderful individuals who readers will adore. Especially enlightening is the heroine who wants to be loved, love back, and yet maintain her independence. In her two personas the feisty Lucy makes the tale, but the letters to and responses by Penelope are what truly refresh the plot. Fans and reviewers will be writing to praise Ms. Ihle for a fine unique tale." Harriet Klausner
