The Lady's Mine - by Francine Rivers

The "Calvada's Gold" novel by Francine Rivers is a captivating tale of love, redemption, and determination set in a lawless boomtown during the 1870s.

The story follows Kathryn Walsh, a displaced New England suffragette, and Matthias Beck, a former Union soldier disinherited by his Southern family, as they join forces to save the town from corrupt power-hungry men.

With nods to "The Taming of the Shrew" and the musical "Oklahoma," this novel is more lighthearted than Rivers' typical epic sagas but still retaines compassion for the downtrodden and redemption for the sinner.

The book includes an author's note and discussion questions, making it a great choice for book clubs.

Don't miss out on this unforgettable love story that will leave you cheering for the unlikely heroines and their quest for justice in the rough-and-tumble town of Calvada.
