Interlude at Cottonwood Springs

Description

In this gripping historical novel, award-winning author Liz Adair tells the story of an outlander—Ruth Reynolds, an eastern socialite who comes west during the 1930s. She finds an alien landscape and people who still live in the shadow of the nineteenth century. One of those people is Heck Benham, a tall, handsome cowboy who lives his life according to a strict moral code. When he rescues her from her abusive marriage, he must weather the consequences, for rescuing her turns them both into social pariahs.

Interlude at Cottonwood Springs is a rewrite of Liz Adair’s Counting the Cost, a book that won the 2009 Whitney Award as well as being finalist for the 2010 Willa Award and the Arizona Publisher Association’s Glyph Award. In the rewrite, Liz added three prequel chapters describing Ruth Reynolds’ move west.
