The Ring That Binds
Widow Celina Innes, a dress shop owner in the small 1886 mining town of Aspen, Colorado, struggles to run her shop and live down her late husband’s bad choices for the sake of her four-year old daughter, Keena. She made the mistake of following after one man’s dream of striking it rich and has sworn not to do it again. Co-owner of Toussaint’s General Store, Mikel, watches this proud woman run a successful business but wishes he could make her life a little easier. He has to be contented by slipping treats to the child in hopes of pleasing her mama. When illness strikes the child, Celina turns to Mikel for help and they work together all night to get past the crisis, deepening their friendship. But when the crisis is over, Mikel disappears from Aspen and Celina learns he is seeking to increase his stores. How could she have been so wrong about the man? Can a woman sworn to put down roots and a man looking for more riches find happiness?
This was such a good story. I really enjoyed "The Ring That Binds". Carlene
ReplyDeletePrism Book Group has some amazing books written by incredible writers :)
ReplyDeleteAs a Coloradan, how could I resist a story set in Aspen? And as a feminist, how could I resist a story about an independent feisty woman? Both are in "The Ring That Binds," a touching historical you'll enjoy.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure Linda Carroll-Bradd loves these comments, coming from two established writers such as Carlene Havel (author of A Hero's Homecoming and co-author of Daughter Of The King) and Bonnie McCune (author of A Saint Comes Stumbling In and Heart-Strong).
