HEART OF ABIGAIL: A LYRIC NOVELLA OF JUNEAU, DOUGLAS AND TREADWELL
Weaving spellbinding fiction into meticulously-researched
history, Heart of Abigail tells the harrowing
story of bonnie Abigail Sinclair, a young nurse who travels from Edinburgh,
Scotland to Alaska in 1899 to work at the St. Ann’s Hospital in Douglas during
the height of the great gold mines of Treadwell, 700 Foot, Mexican, and Ready
Bullion. Against a backdrop of authentic history, Abigail experiences her first
true love, perilous danger, malignant retribution, and ultimate redemption as
she confronts the deepest feelings of her own heart. Richly illustrated throughout
with historic photographs relevant to the story, Heart of Abigail will imbue the reader with clear and intimate knowledge
of the mining history of Juneau, Douglas, and Treadwell within the transparent fabric
of a masterful fictional story.
