The Redemption of Mattie Silks

By Kimberly Burns

SEEKING REDEMPTION, SHE FINDS RETRIBUTION

In 1892, the American West is no place for the faint of heart-especially for a woman running one of Denver's most luxurious brothels. Madam Mattie Silks has built her empire catering to the city's wealthiest gold and silver magnates, outmaneuvering corrupt politicians, ruthless criminals, and self-righteous morality committees.

But when her husband crosses paths with infamous crime boss "Soapy" Smith, Mattie finds herself entangled in a deadly game where bribes and bullets rule the streets.

Opportunity knocks when gold is discovered in the Yukon, and Mattie dares to chase fortune and freedom in the untamed wilds of Skagway, Alaska. Yet the frontier is even more lawless than Denver, and survival demands every ounce of her cunning. With danger at every turn, can Mattie protect those she loves-and herself-before the deck is stacked against her for good?

Based on true events, The Redemption of Mattie Silks is a gripping historical adventure of ambition, resilience, and one woman's fight to carve her own path in a world that refuses to make space for her.
