A Road Opens Westward and a Frightening Past is Left Behind.
A handsome patent medicine peddler steals the heart of Lizzie Mueller, Heinrich Mueller's daughter, who is intent on breaking 19th century constraints that anchor women to home and hearth. But when a diamond and pearl ring links him to two violent crimes, sending him to jail, the devastated Lizzie leaves Baltimore and returns to her family.
She marries a steady man for whom the Ohio frontier beckons. They leave a comfortable Maryland home to travel over the new National Road, funded in 1806 by the Federal Government, to encourage trade and settlement in the west.
With hard work and terrible losses they finally establish a backwoods homestead in the new state. But when her first love reappears, Lizzie is conflicted in ways she could never have imagined or anticipated.
Wilderness Road is a re-publication of an earlier work by Ms. Butler called: The Good Wife.

Wilderness Road
When I first saw Karen Dionne's debut novel, Freezing Point, I noted that reviewers were comparing her to Michael Crichton. I liked a lot of Mr. Crichton's early stuff so, I bought the book, read it and said, yeah, I can see that.
With the publication of Boiling Point, Ms Dionne has confirmed and surpassed those comparisons. Boiling Point is a fast-paced, well wrought eco-thriller. The detail is stunning, the characters well defined and dynamic and the action never stops. One of the things I found most intriguing about Boiling Point was the way Ms Dionne was able to present various sides of the global warming issue in equal measure without preaching or attempts to steer the reader in a particular direction.
I'm looking forward to Ms Dionne's next book.
