Into the Shadowlands

By Anne J. Thomas

History professor Julia Bloom has always had a fascination and nostalgia for the past; it isn't until she travels to Santa Fe that she begins to understand it. From the moment she sets foot in New Mexico's high desert, with its vast distances and endless skies, another life crowds in on her. Who is Abby, a destitute prostitute? And why does she feel such emotion when she recalls the trail-worn face of Tate, an ex-cavalry officer? What is her connection to them, if any? As she relives their wagon journey down the Santa Fe Trail in 1876, she uncovers a love story that sets off a chain of events both heartbreaking and irreversible. Or are they? This is New Mexico, where magic and miracles are interwoven into its rugged landscapes and colorful superstitions. A land where anything can happen and some things are worth the sacrifice. Haunting and evocative and yet as raw and gritty as the old west itself, this is a love story that transcends the boundaries of time.
