Rose's Latest Book Release: Courageous Brides
Ride into adventures alongside nine
determined women of yesteryear whose acts of compassion and bravery attract
male attention. Marcy helps displaced Indians. Emmy tends wounds at Fort
Snelling. Ronnie stows away on a cattle drive. Daisy disguises herself as a
Pony Express rider. Elinor becomes an abolitionist. Mae tames wild horses.
Hannah gets help for accident victims. Lucy’s curiosity unnerves criminals.
Kate nurses soldiers on the battlefield. Will real dangers douse the sparks of
love?
My story is the one about Elinor. The story was inspired by a
hidden room her grandparents found when they re-did the house where Elinor now
lives. Although there is no proof, some have said it may have been a station on
the Underground Railroad since KY was a border state on the way to Ohio. Pre-order the book HERE.
