◆◆◆ Unadulterated tenacity.
Those two words describe the women who forged lives in the wilderness and helped settle this nation. They never gave up or lost faith as they fought, sacrificed, sometimes died for this country and their families.
Their femininity was arguably a hindrance, but not one that they allowed to create in them a victim mindset. There was no time for such nonsense. These women rolled up their sleeves and did what needed doing-because whining wasn't going to change a dang thing.
Their stories will amaze, humble, encourage, and inspire you to do more than you think you can.
Because you can.
So put on your big girl breeches and get to it.

◆◆◆ Great necessities call out great virtues.

Heather is the independent bestselling author of several Christian Westerns, including the Romance in the Rockies series, which has sold over 40,000 copies. Intrigued by the concept of three good sisters stranded in a lawless Colorado mining town, a few notable Hollywood producers have requested the script for her first book in that series, A Lady in Defiance. Heather's writing is gritty and realistic. In fact, her books have been compared to AMC's Hell on Wheels series, as well as the legendary Francine Rivers book, Redeeming Love. She writes Westerns because she grew up on a steady diet of Bonanza, Gunsmoke, and John Wayne movies. Her most fond childhood memory is of sitting next to her father, munching on popcorn, and watching Lucas McCain unload that Winchester!

Romance is always a strong element in her stories because it is such a beautiful gift from God, and a perfect reflection of how he loves His children: sacrificially and lavishly.
