High Desert Angel

By Ava C. Wilson

Rosalie Evans, bookseller, rescues an old photo album from a rummage sale and returns it to the elderly owner. The story behind a photo of two desperate women reveals years of hope, desperation, betrayal and everlasting love. In 1937, seventeen year old Ivy Reese dreams of leaving her family's desolate ranch in southern Oregon. The Great Depression and drought has brought the region to its knees, but Ivy's widowed mother is determined to hang onto the ranch to keep it in the family. A shameful secret eventually leads to Ivy's escape to a life of promise. When World War II erupts, Ivy is caught far from home, trapped in the killing fields of the Pacific. It seems impossible that she will survive to rejoin her lover; however, Ivy discovers that she is as stubborn and strong as her mother.
