Ursula Nordegren has been snowed in all winter in her mountain
retreat where she isolated herself from the rest of her family. She is now going stir crazy and decides to
try to make her way down the mountain.
On the way down, she finds the injured Wax Mosby trying to claw his way
up the mountain and takes pity on him and somehow manages to get him back to
her hideaway and nurse him back to health.
Wax is a hired gun who wants a different life but Ursula doesn’t know
any of that. Ursula sings all the time
and Wax is quite taken with her. We
learned about Ursula and her sisters in the first two books of this
series. They were raised on the mountain
with their grandparents and then fended for themselves after they died. The girls had never been off the mountain or
had any contact with other people until the cattle rancher from the bottom of
the mountain showed up one day with a herd of cattle to range up there.
I have enjoyed this series so much. I have read all of Mary Connealy’s books as
they came out and loved them all. She writes
some funny lines like this one from this story: “The two sisters rushed forward
and threw their arms around each other.
After enough squealing to humble a herd of hogs, they drew apart.” Where else could you get such delicious dialogue?
