About the Book

NOW AVAILABLE IN KINDLE! A WORD ON BROKEN CHORDS: Broken chords is based on a the true story of an Appalachian family whose matriarch, Sally, deserted the family in 1904. While Sally lived her dreams traveling the west and finally homesteading in Wyoming, her family was left to piece their lives together. Sally's daughter, Hannah, proved a pillar of strength and integral part of holding the family together, caring for her siblings, her father and eventually caring for the mother who had deserted her and the family. Though this tale is full of incredibly bad fortune, and though fictionalized, it remains true to the amazing fortitude, love and caring of a family who was torn apart, and brought together again by a young woman whose life was burdened not only by her immediate family, but by her relationships and children, loved and lost. It's 1896 and seventeen-year-old Hannah McCade wants nothing more than to marry the handsome rascal, Clive Wilson, but babies and a cabin in the woods are not his idea of a grand future. When Hannah becomes pregnant, life takes a sharp turn as Clive flees the Appalachians and leaves her to face her family and unwed motherhood alone. Hannah's mother, Sally McCade, middle aged, unhappy, and desperate over her husband's infidelity and her daughter's promiscuity, is about to do the unthinkable; abandon her husband and family to follow her dreams of independence. She boards a train and disappears into the night. Two women, mother and daughter, follow separate trails that converge a decade later on the lonely prairies of Wyoming, where Sally has taken up homesteading, and where Hannah has come to mend the broken chords of the family, and find love again. Broken Chords is a gripping factual-based tale of romance, murder, intrigue and homesteading on the western plains of Wyoming in the spirit of young, and old, American women.
