Embrace the Windcontinues the story of Aislynn Maher, heroine of Far Away Home. With over 100,000 copies sold and over 3500 5 star reviews/ ratings, this sequel has ranked as a bestseller in US Historical Fiction, Western Romance, and Historical Romance American.
What is the cost of living life on your own terms? For a young woman on the American Frontier, the price can be high. Aislynn Maher trusted the wrong man. To conceal her disgrace, she abandons her job, her home, her family and friends. She turns to the raw, contentious US marshal of the Wyoming Territory, Orrin Sage, who is hiding a guilty secret of his own. Setting out alone, Aislynn brings her optimism and determination to Cheyenne. But in this rough town, with its prejudice, violence and lawlessness, it’s not just difficult to do what you believe is right─ it's potentially deadly.
This unlikely love story details real triumphs and tragedies from frontier women’s letters, diaries and newspapers of the day, and places Aislynn in the center of their history. Embrace the Wind illuminates an intimate picture of the American frontier; the story of the women who changed the West and helped forge the freedoms we enjoy today.
What readers are saying about Embrace the Wind:
Embrace the Wind is a unique love story that provides an intimate window into the vital role women played in settling the American West. Susan Denning deftly highlights political and social issues of the 1870s that resonate loudly in our nation today.—Amy Goodman,-award winning syndicated journalist, columnist and author.
For lovers of well constructed stories of the pioneering days of early America this is the book for you. The author has taken the historical facts of the period and wrapped them around a story to hold your attention from the first to the last page. —Geoff Woodland, author of Triangle Trade and Ice King.
Embrace the Wind-For as much as I loved Susan Denning's first book, Far Away Home, her sequel topped all expectations. This one is another great read from Denning, who is acutely aware of how relevant her heroine's journey is to today's struggles for equality and assimilation for women and Native Americans. A great read for those who want to be entertained, as well as gaining perspective on surprisingly contemporary concerns. And I would hope Mrs. Denning is working on her third book. — Sebastian Tudores -Director/ Writer.
