Description
Hardland: A Novel by Ashley E. Sweeney is set against the breathtaking backdrop of Arizona's Sonoran Desert in 1899. Ruby Fortune faces an impossible choice: end her abusive marriage or live with the scars that never heal. When one bullet changes everything, she must navigate a treacherous web of relationships and rivalries to protect herself and her four young sons. As a single mother, Ruby opens a roadside inn to make ends meet, but her life is soon disrupted by an affair with an African American miner and a trio of adversaries who threaten to destroy her. With her reputation on the line and her livelihood at risk, Ruby must use all her wits and cunning to survive in one of the harshest environments in the American West. With its blend of Wild West imagery, suspense, and adventure, Hardland introduces a tough, fast-talking heroine who will stop at nothing to provide for herself and her sons.
