A Blaze of Poppies: A novel about New Mexico and World War I

By Jennifer Bohnhoff

Book Overview

A BLAZE OF POPPIES

Feisty little Agnes Day is determined to keep the family ranch and run it alone on her own terms. The last thing she wants is to fall under the authority of a husband who has different interests that will keep her from the land she loves.

A family death along with the attack of a nearby town threatens her ability to keep the ranch-making her goal seemingly impossible. Agnes presses on and trains to become a nurse, then volunteers to go over there to help the thousands of doughboys suffering in the trenches of the greatest war the world has known.

As Agnes moves ever closer to the front line, she faces increasingly primitive and dangerous conditions. She is challenged beyond endurance, but also surprised to find a man she could share her life with. Agnes gives her heart to the quiet and competent Will Bowers, who loves the Sunset Ranch just as much as she does. But Will is haunted by a dark secret. Until he can come to terms with his past, he cannot settle down.

Can Agnes secure a peaceful future on the Sunrise Ranch after the insanity and bloodshed of war? Dare she hope to share that future with someone else?
