Synopsis

Eight days is all it takes for the blistering Kansas Plains to explode in 1863, and Annie Logan has no way of knowing that her fate is about to collide with history. As one man tries to solve a series of murders and the woman in his charge seeks to find her way back home, William Quantrill and his band of Southern sympathizers ride for Lawrence. Based on a true story, no one in Lawrence those eight days will ever be the same.

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

As the daughter of history buffs, George spent a great deal of her childhood visiting historical sites. While other families traveled to Disneyland, hers headed to Gettysburg or some obscure 19th century homestead. She never got those Micky Mouse ears, but was instilled with a love of history and a passion for research. It was impossible for George to stand in the spot where a battle once raged, treaty was signed, or everyday people lived a hardscrabble life without feeling their essence. It’s as though each person who passed through left a bit of themselves. It was that sense of eternal continuity that led to her interest in learning more about the paranormal. Being ever-so-practical, she graduated from college with a degree in business. Still, George kept her hand in history and the paranormal by writing about them and by dragging her own children to long-forgotten ghost towns and sometimes-stuffy presidential libraries. Her hope was that her sons would learn that history is never about the place, but about the people who once lived there. George recognizes how fortunate she is to have the opportunity to write about history and to tell stories about the people who lived in another time. She is married to the sweet guy she first met in high school history class. In addition to two sons, they have two amazing daughters-in-law and a dreamy granddaughter.
