The Inspiration

I started plotting this novel when I found out that Wyoming was the first state (then a territory) in the Union to grant women the right to vote. Then I discovered it wasn’t just the right to vote; all sorts of other rights were given to women as well, like the right to run for elected office or be appointed to office. In fact, the first woman justice of the peace in the U.S. was from Wyoming. This inspired me to have one of my heroines be the second justice of the peace in the country.

As I continued my research, reading about all that went on in Wyoming was fascinating. They became a territory in 1868—with women voting—and yet they weren’t allowed statehood for another thirty years. With other states being granted statehood in only a few years, why was this? Because the U.S. government refused to let Wyoming in unless they took the vote away from women.

Because Wyoming adamantly refused to strip the vote from women, year after year they were denied statehood. When they finally did get it, the state’s women maintained their right to vote because Wyoming would not budge on the issue. The whole history of this was great reading.

So I wrote a three-book series called Wyoming Sunrise in which all my heroines play against the normal, conventional female roles of the day.

Now, what job could I possibly think of that wasn’t traditionally for women? How about Mariah who happens to be a blacksmith? And while I’m writing against stereotypes, I created a man named Clint who runs a diner. That wasn’t too unusual, for lots of diners were run by men back in the day. Yet not many of them were talented chefs trained in high-class restaurants in New York City. Clint is an excellent chef. Of course, an excellent chef in a small Wyoming town is kind of wasted on folks who prefer fried chicken and beef stew.

Clint makes chicken and beef, but he calls his dishes weird names and makes them unusually delicious. Meanwhile, Mariah is working over a hot forge for long hours every day. When her father and brother are killed in a stagecoach holdup, she becomes the only blacksmith in town.

There’s some resistance to her doing such a masculine job, but even among those who disapprove, well, they’ve got a broken wagon wheel or a hole in their kettle and it’s either let Mariah fix it or go without. Mariah is allowed to be a blacksmith out of pure necessity.

My second book, The Laws of Attraction, has a female justice of the peace, while the third, Marshaling Her Heart, features a tough lady rancher. I write westerns, and honestly, writing about tough, feisty lady ranchers like Becky the Rancher comes naturally to me. Writing about a blacksmith and a judge, however, presents more of a challenge.

Mariah, who survived the stagecoach holdup, learns that the robbers believe she might know something that will reveal their identity, and she needs to be silenced. Clint tries to protect her and finds himself stepping between her and a murderous gang of outlaws.

Through it all, love finds them, and they begin to forge a life together.

My Thoughts

Forged in Love is written by Mary Connealy. This book kicks off a new series, Wyoming Sunrise. The author always does such a great job with her research to bring her stories to life. In this story we meet Mariah Stover. Mariah was riding in a stage coach with her dad and brother when it is attacked by the Deadeye gang. She is left for dead and thankfully she is found before she perishes. The sheriff and family friend, Clint Roberts try and convince her to leave town before the gang finds out she is still alive. However, Mariah has no recollection of the attack and makes it known. 

Mariah wants to continue being the town blacksmith. Her father has taught her so much and the town of Pine Valley depends on her trade. Clint has tasked himself along with two of Mariah's friends in trying to keep her safe. However, the Deadeye gang has never left any witnesses. Will they come back and try and finish the job. 

I loved that the author chose to make her female character a blacksmith and the male as a chef. I loved seeing the role reversal. The author did great with her descriptions. I cannot wait until the next book in the series. Thank you to the author, publisher and Celebrate Lit for allowing me to read a copy of this book - all thoughts are my own.

A Mark of Grace Author: Kimberley Woodhouse

 

About the Book

Book: A Mark of Grace

Author: Kimberley Woodhouse

Genre: Historical Fiction

Release date: January 3, 2023

When everything crumbles, her chance for a new beginning hangs in the balance.

Ruth Anniston survived an injury that left her physically scarred, broken, and angry at God. Now, she finds herself working behind the scenes as a kitchen and dining room supervisor at the El Tovar Hotel, hidden away from curious eyes and with little hope of finding love. When money begins to disappear from the hotel, Ruth’s entire livelihood is put at risk when she lands on the list of suspects.

Frank Henderson has at last succeeded in obtaining his dream job as head chef at the El Tovar. But competition in the kitchen is fierce, and one mistake could cost him his future. As the thefts at the hotel continue, and his affection for Ruth grows, Frank’s career–and his heart–are in jeopardy.

As tensions run high, Ruth and Frank must work together to save the El Tovar. They find themselves growing closer . . . but can their combined ingenuity overcome the odds against them?

More from Kimberley

It is such a thrill to be able to bring readers A Mark of Grace, book three in my Secrets of the Canyon series. These books have been near and dear to me since 2009, right from the moment the idea of setting a Harvey Girls series at the El Tovar on the rim of the Grand Canyon first hit me.

Ever since the release of A Deep Divide, book one in the series, I’ve received tons of messages from readers who hoped Ruth would have her story. All along, the plan was for the final installment to be hers.

Ruth has been a strong character throughout the series. A mentor. A friend. A headwaitress. But when a crisis hits her life, it affects every area—emotional, physical, and spiritual—and her confidence in everything she thought she knew crumbles.

Life isn’t easy for any of us, and I love a good story that I can grow and learn through. I pray A Mark of Grace is that for you.

My Thoughts

A Mark of Grace is book three in the Secrets of the Canyon Series that is written by Kimberly Woodhouse. While this is part of a series, you can read it as a stand alone. The author does a good job in filling in the back stories of characters that were introduced in previous books.

Ruth Anniston has been working within the Harvey corporation as soon as she could. She worked her way up from a Harvey girl to head waitress. She then is injured by a mountain lion. This mountain lion has left her severely disfigured and wallowing in self pity. Thankfully, her boss, Mr. Owens finds a office job for her and she is able to continue her employment.

Frank Henderson has been in love with Ruth for several years. Their paths have crossed several times during his employment within the Harvey empire. While she pushes everyone else away, Frank sticks by her side.

Mr. Owens calls on them both when there is a discrepancy in the El Tovar books. He needs their confidence and their skills to try and sort it out. Ruth and Frank are worried about their jobs when accidents and discrepancies become more frequent. Can they figure it out?

This book is well written. I have learned so much about the Harvey Girls thanks to the author's careful research. I love books where I can learn and enjoy a story.

Thank you to the author and publisher for allowing me to read a copy of this book - all thoughts are my own.

My Thoughts

Confessions to a Stranger is book one in the Harbored in Crow's nest series that is written by Danielle Grandinetti. I have been fortunate to read all of this author's work and each book gets better and better. This book is set in 1930 in a small town of Crow's Nest, Wisconsin. Adaleigh Sirland is trying to blend in and keep her true identity hidden but when she sees a small child fall into the water, she jumps into action. From there everyone is curious about Adaleigh.

David Martins is a first mate and manager to a fishing fleet. He has loved being out on the water. He is captivated with the new face in Crow's Nest. Even more so when his uncle, a policeman, brings her to his grandma's home to stay. He knows she is hiding something deep and wants to uncover her one layer at a time.

A beautiful friendship forms between the two. Adaleigh starts to let her guard down then they both arrive at a crime scene. They become key witnesses when David's father is the prime suspect. Small town corruption, twists and turns at every bend, and a great reminder that God cares for us no matter how bad we think we messed it up.

This is a great kick off to a new series and I absolute cannot wait until the next book in the series. The characters are well written and you will find yourself lost in the story within the first few pages.

Thank you to the author, publisher and JustRead Publicity Tours for allowing me to read a copy of this book - all thoughts are my own.

My Thoughts - Promise of Purity Author: Marguerite Martin Gray

About the Book

Book: Promise of Purity

Author: Marguerite Martin Gray

Genre: Christian Historical Fiction

Release date: February 14, 2023

Is true purity found in the laws of religion or in the hearts of the faithful?

East Molesey, England, 1661—

With the return of the exiled king to his rightful throne, Kate Sinclair’s world of black and white now offers the hope of color. But where does color-loving Kate fit? In the bakery as the daughter of a Puritan or in the palace garden among God’s myriad hues? Certainly not within the palace walls of an immoral court with new friends.

Exiled with King Charles II on the continent, Peter Reresby claims unwavering support of his friend’s regained crown. While fighting for the monarchy against his family’s wishes, his sister disappears, and Peter is determined to find her.

When their opposing beliefs collide, Kate and Peter witness a true test of faith in the ability of mankind to shed the past in order to preserve the future… and perhaps learn that the “greatest of these” truly is love.

More from  Marguerite

Hello from north Louisiana. I am so happy to be here with you. When I am not writing, you will most likely find me outside in my garden, reading on the deck or front porch, or hiking/walking in the woods and parks. I love the outdoors, although I am not the athletic sports type, more like a nature lover. That is one reason I have enjoyed writing the novels for Gardens in Time.

When I was a preteen, I had the awesome privilege of residing in England outside of Liverpool while my father pursued an advanced degree in architecture. For a few years, I had the gardens of Britain and Europe as my playground. My sisters and I made up games on the lawns and in the gardens of the estates—supervised, of course. Hide-and-seek in castle ruins or tag in rose gardens or getting lost in mazes proved great entertainment. Hampton Court Palace Gardens was one of those majestic places.

Promise of Purity is set at Hampton Court Palace in 1661 during the return of Charles II from exile. Kate is a Puritan waiting for color to fill her life after a dismal rule under Cromwell. I visited Hampton Court again in June 2022. I wandered in the rose gardens and marveled at the herb plots. Wildflowers existed between the manicured plots of lilies. I strolled through the Privy Garden that my character Kate brings back to life. Walking in my characters’ footsteps energizes me as I present them to you, the reader.

Enjoy the journey through Hampton Court Gardens.


My Thoughts



Promise of Purity is written by Marguerite Martin Gray. This book is set in the 1660’s. I am not as familiar with this time period as others and the author did a great job with research to bring the story to life.

Kate Sinclair is a Puritan. Her family prefers a more simple life. They were loyal to the former King - and are only offering their allegiance to King Charles in name only. Her family owns a bakery and she is offered a position with the new court. She loves being in the garden and creating recipes for the King. Her father is worried she will get caught up with the worldly ways.

Peter Reresby was exiled with Charles II. He now has a lot of responsibilities with the new court. Kate captures his attention and he cannot shake her from his thoughts. He does not see God the way Kate does. I loved seeing his growth throughout the story.



This book is well written. The characters are realistic. I learned a lot about King Charles II and his court. Thank you to the author, publisher and Celebrate Lit for allowing me to read a copy of this book - all thoughts are my own.

My Thoughts -The Finding of Miss Fairfield Author: Grace Hitchcock

 


About the Book

Book: The Finding of Miss Fairfield

Author: Grace Hitchcock

Genre: Historical Romance

Release date: August 29, 2022

When an engagement of convenience becomes anything but convenient . . .

Forced into a betrothal with a widower twice her age, Charleston socialite, Sophia Fairfield is desperate for an escape. But, while her fiancé is away on business, he assigns his handsome stepson, Carver, the task of looking after his bride-to-be. Much to her dismay, Sophia finds herself falling in love with the wrong gentleman—a man society would never allow her to marry, given Sophia was supposed to be his new stepmother. The only way to save Carver from scandal and financial ruin is to run away, leaving him and all else behind to become a Harvey Girl waitress at the Castañeda Hotel in New Mexico.

Carver Ashton has had his life planned out for him since birth, but when he encounters Sophia Fairfield, he glimpses a new life—apart from his overbearing stepfather’s business. But, when the woman he loves disappears before he can express his devotion, Carver abandons all to find her. However, his stepfather has other intentions for Sophia and will stop at nothing until she is his bride . . . even if it is against her will.

More from Grace

Q: What type of fiction do you write? What is it about this type that appeals to you? 

Grace Hitchcock: I write historical romance with a dash of suspense, unless it was for my true crime books which have a bit more than a dash of suspense  For my American setting novels, The Gilded Age speaks to me as it was a time of change for women. While still having that epic romance feel with balls and dancing and courtships with a sweet romance, women were breaking ground and making history and pairing that with the fact that it was a time of emerging inventions, it is an all-around exciting era to research, read, and write.

Q: Who were the Harvey Girls?

Grace Hitchcock: Whenever I tell people I am writing about a Victorian Harvey Girl romance, they usually assume the Harvey Girls are associated with an old-time saloon, but nothing could be further from the truth. In the 1890s, there were not many respectable jobs for women, so when Englishman Fred Harvey created his chain of fine dining restaurants along the Atchison, Topeka, and Santa Fe railroads, single women without an education, or in need of earning their own way, were given a chance to earn an honest wage without the speculation that they offered anything else but food as a service. With Mr. Harvey’s strict rules about the waitress’s code of conduct, the women were given their independence while still maintaining their good name and place in society under the protective, fatherly arm of Fred Harvey. These extraordinary, brave women became known as the Harvey Girls, the ladies who tamed the Wild West with fine china, good pie, and exceptional service with complete propriety.

While Harvey Houses were built to serve the needs of the passengers on the rail to encourage tourism in the west, the railroad workers and local townsmen also dined at the restaurant, but usually at the lunch counter. At a time when men filled towns and women were scarce, inevitably, a railroad worker or townsman would express interest in marrying a Harvey Girl. In order to marry, she would need to fulfill her work contract or risk paying a fine of a month of salary. The fine was set in place to ensure that Fred Harvey would have enough workers and that he wouldn’t simply train a girl to have her shipped to a town of bachelors and leave him without a waitress.

As you can probably tell, such a set up sends an author’s head to spinning with all the romance that could come from a woman venturing out on her own in a land filled with cowboys, bandits, ranchers, and farmers. The possibilities for romance are endless! There is so much more I could write about these fascinating ladies and their contributions to society, but I hope you enjoyed this taste of history on the Harvey Girls!

Q: What are your publications? And what are you currently working on? 

Grace Hitchcock: After signing with The Steve Laube Agency in 2015, I sold three novellas to Barbour Publishing and then, in March 2019, I released my debut novel, The White City, from Barbour Publishing and signed for a second novel, The Gray Chamber.

My latest release, His Delightful Lady Delia, concludes my 3-book American Royalty series for Bethany House Publishers and hit the shelves in November 2022.

This spring, I signed with Kregel Publications for my first ever REGENCY series!!!! I am thrilled for this dream come true!

While I wait for its release, I’m keeping busy editing and writing book two in my Harvey Girls Aprons & Veils series, The Pursuit of Miss Parish.

The Pursuit of Miss Parish summary:

Love’s gentle promise becomes nothing more than a withered dream.

With dreams of love and a hope for belonging, shy Belle Parish leaves her position as a maid in Charleston to travel to New Mexico with her best friend to become mail-order brides. Colt Lawson’s letters hold great promise and while his devilishly handsome face matches his picture, something does not add up. Discovering his lie only moments before they wed, Belle flees the church and straight into the Castañeda Hotel Harvey House. Giving up the prospect on ever marrying, she dons her nun-like uniform and focuses on her role as a Harvey Girl waitress until a strong, former Texas Ranger rides into her life.

Colt Lawson didn’t want to send that letter to Belle Parish in the first place, but her first response had all but captured his heart. When he is left standing at the altar alone, he is left with two choices—either release his dream of a love marriage, or attempt to win her heart. Wooing her would be a lot easier if that Texas Ranger wasn’t back in town. Who wants a dusty rancher with a past when she could have a shining knight in a Stetson?

While you wait for The Pursuit of Miss Parish to release in Summer 2023, please be sure to check out book one in my brand-new Harvey Girl series set at the historical Hotel Castañeda, The Finding of Miss Fairfield, a tale about Charleston socialite who is on the run from an engagement of convenience.

Happy reading, friends!

My Thoughts 

The Finding of Miss Fairfield is book one in the Aprons and Veils series that is written by Grace Hitchcock. This book was a great introduction to the series. Sophia is the last unmarried daughter in the household. Her father has promised her hand in marriage as a big contract deal with his shipping partner, Prescott Payne. Prescott is double her age. Sophia feels like she has had no say in her life choices. She tries to end the engagement and her after has told her there is no choice.


Prescott asks his step-son to keep an eye on Sophia while he does business. Carver finds himself drawn to Sophia. Sophia trusts him enough to tell him she is not happy with this marriage. There is a spark between them - but society rules would never allow their relationship. When Sophia overhears a conversation about her and her upcoming marriage, she flees. She becomes a Harvey Girl waitress in New Mexico.


I loved seeing Sophia grow during this story. She went from living a life of privilege to serving others. Carver tries to track her down and let his true feelings be known. But would a relationship between them ever stand?


The author did a great job in bringing this part of history to life. I loved all the adventures and characters in the story. Life was hard for these women. They had to deal with unwanted advances, and flirting. I cannot wait until the next story in the series.
Thank you to the author, publisher and Celebrate Lit for allowing me to read a copy of this book - all thoughts are my own.
