| 1 | Far West: The Diary of Eleanor Higgins ( | Linell Jeppsen |
| Nel Higgins is the 16-year-old daughter of Frank Higgins, a deranged Lutheran pastor. After Nel’s mother passes away, she finds herself and her sister, Annie, at the mercy of her father in Yankton, Dakota Territory, 1876. Bereft and frightened, Nel knows, deep in her heart, that neither she nor Annie will survive unless they can escape his evil clutches. Then, when unforeseen circumstances lead to Frank's sudden death, the two girls soon board the famous riverboat, the Far West. Once on board, Nel finds herself following the path of American destiny toward Fort Abraham Lincoln, Custer’s Last Stand and the Battle of the Little Bighorn. Fans are comparing this historical romance novel to Forever Amber and The Unsinkable Molly Brown. It is filled with action, adventure, sorrow, and joy and showcases the strength, fortitude, and danger of the American frontier. |
