It can be raw in places as the awful truth is conveyed. The 1990 part of this dual time dealt with widowed Val, a Park Ranger with a seven year old son and how she tries to fit in with her new position and its prejudice against women rangers. It was interesting how the two timelines converged during a complex case. I am a fan of dual timelines but this one was a bit jarring when it went back and forth between the two. I would still recommend it for the exceptional historical value. *I received a complimentary copy of this book from Random House via NetGalley.

I received this novel from the publisher for a honest review. ( ) fredreeca | Jun 4, 2024 | The story is told in two timelines. In 1909, Olive and her desire to keep her Native American friends safe (as well as herself) is the focus. Also during this timeframe, women such as Kate Barnard come to the forefront to promote change for these children. In 1990, Val, a national park law enforcement ranger, stumbles upon the skeletons of three children in a cave. Her question surrounding the skeletons arouse her suspicions of foul play. After meeting a young local girl who is trying to find her missing brother, Val becomes even more suspicious and decides to learn more about the story of the area. With the help of a Native American Tribal law enforcement officer, Val uncovers a series of crimes that have been committed due to the greed of some powerful men. This is a slow burn, but well worth reading. I love that Lisa Wingate brings buried history and powerful women of the past to light. Many thanks to NetGalley and Random House Publishing Group-Ballantine for allowing me to read an advance copy. I am happy to give an honest review and recommend to readers who love historical fiction. ( ) tamidale | Jun 3, 2024 | This is a dual time read, and I loved how the author seamlessly wove this story together. Be sure to read the author's notes at the end! This read opens your eyes to the greed that goes through the ages, and those that have never have enough, and don't care about whom they hurt getting it. Unfortunately, in the early 1900's it was children, and we though the eyes of the author meet this children and get to know some of them. There are surprises, and then wow surprises, and most you won't see coming! I received this book through Net Galley and the Publisher Ballantine Books, and was not required to give a positive review.

Together they begin a perilous journey to the rugged Winding Stair Mountains, the notorious territory of outlaws, treasure hunters, and desperate men.

Val's quest to uncover the truth wins an ally among the neighboring Choctaw Tribal Police, but soon collides with old secrets and the tragic and deadly history of the land itself. In this emotional and enveloping novel, Lisa Wingate traces the story of children abandoned by the law, and the battle to see justice done. Amid times of deep conflict over who owns the land and its riches, Ollie and Val traverse the wild and beautiful terrain, each leaving behind one life in search of another"-- No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
