About this ebook
It’s 1915, and newlywed Olivia Fitzgerald is leaving her affluent Seattle family to join her husband Frank in a foreign country, Canada, at the isolated mining community of Britannia Beach. Before she even has a chance to settle in, many of the people she meets upon arrival are killed in a horrific natural disaster, triggering the first of a series of events about to befall the young Olivia, and the tightly knit community.
A multicultural group of people are waiting to meet you, including the fiery red-headed Lucy; Captain Frenchie Cates; Akiko, Harry and Jimmy Yada; Officer Wolanski, man-crazy Sarah Leiboldt; and the formidable J.W. McMichael.
Landslides, fires, flu epidemics and even WWI were not enough to send the young bride packing. But the two men claiming that “Olivia’s mine” might be enough to do it!
