A utopian dream meets harsh reality in the 19th-century Ozarks. The inhabitants of Daybreak, a quiet utopian community, are courted by a powerful lumber and mining trust and must search their souls as the lure of sudden wealth tests ideals that to some now seem antique. Love, lust, deception, ambition, violence, repentance, and reconciliation abound as the citizens of Daybreak try to live out oft-scorned values in a world that is changing around them with terrifying speed. Will they hold fast to their principles, or succumb to the temptations of progress? Perfect for readers who enjoy character-driven historical fiction with a strong sense of place.
