About This Book
1845 – New Mexico Territory – A savage attack on a family of sheep-herding immigrants leaves ten year old Molly Broderick the only survivor. She is brought into the nearby village of Warm Springs and adopted by Jason and Geraldine Turnbill. In the five years since her rescue, we find Molly an inquisitive, precocious, energetic, fifteen year old. She is mentored by several residents of this wilderness community — among them Jake, the saloon owner; Doc Ford; Mr. Royston the banker; Margaret the general store owner; and especially the Blacksmith, Uncle Buzz. Our adventure wends its way through the lives of these folks and others as Molly grows into a mature young lady. An exciting, action-filled “Y A” story for all ages to enjoy. Happy reading!
