Synopsis

Saskatchewan, 1891. The fantastical village of Ravenscrag where Josie Grant is the childless wife of a deaf farmer who sings beautifully at church. She has prayed eight years for a child, and blames herself and her childhood misdeeds for her barron womb. Five miles over is Spencer Pearse, the fifth son of a doctor who left Suffolk after the death of his beloved “friend” Chappie. On an untouched range in the Cypress Hills and conflicted about what is right and what he wants, Spencer builds a log cabin furnished for a bride he hopes is on her way—or so he tells the neighbours. When a wicked idea rushes to Josie's edges and she turns to Spencer for help, but will he be able to do it?


Dark and daring, meticulously researched and mostly true, Mad Hell-rush of Days is a lyrical, unconventional novel that gives voice to the unheard in a long-forgotten world.
