First, there was the canyon. Then, there were the people who came.
Nod Blessing is the surviving heir of the Blessing Cattle Company, and he is making his way through the mysterious Cherokee Outlet. If he’s going to transport his year’s cash earnings, he’ll have to survive the darkness of the caverns.
Five powerful women are also traversing the canyon. They are strong in their determination to build the town of Bathsheba, a refuge for women. Along the way, their spirits threaten to break; their wills tested. It’s up to them to create their one true haven.
Marco wants the land. A surveyor accused of a crime he didn’t commit must overcome the drought and the impact of the Great Depression and world at war, but deception is hiding around every bend.
Will these characters succeed, or, in the end, will they fall to the power of the canyon and its secrets? Time and Again is a metaphysical Western revealing historical answers hidden in plain sight.
Historical Novel Society Review
"The novel is unforgiving in its descriptions of hardscrabble ranching life during the times of the Great Depression, Dust Bowl, and two world wars. Its characters are indelible, with odd quirks, mannerisms, and speaking patterns making them immediately recognizable. Descriptions are lyrical yet realistic. Readers wince when Marco is pinned against the boards of the cattle pen by his bull, Gimp. They cough along with Ruth from the dust particles causing her pneumonia. They shudder in the throes of a powerful tornado." -- Read the entire review here
