Sinopse

In "Michael O'Halloran," Gene Stratton-Porter ventures into the realm of early 20th-century American literature, crafting a touching narrative that intertwines themes of childhood innocence, the bond between humans and nature, and the redemptive power of love. Set against the picturesque backdrop of the Hoosier landscape, the novel features the adventures of a young boy, Michael, as he encounters both the joys and tribulations of life in a rapidly changing society. Stratton-Porter's characteristic pastoral style is complemented by her keen observations of the natural world, creating a vivid setting that emphasizes the serenity and challenges faced by her characters. Gene Stratton-Porter, a prominent author and naturalist, was deeply influenced by her upbringing in rural Indiana, which instilled in her a profound appreciation for nature and humanity. Her works often reflect her commitment to environmentalism and social advocacy, particularly for women and the underprivileged. This background and her unwavering passion for storytelling paved the way for "Michael O'Halloran," where she masterfully explores the complexities of human relationships and the impact of nature on personal growth. Readers seeking an engaging and uplifting tale will find "Michael O'Halloran" a compelling exploration of life's beauty and challenges. Whether you are drawn to themes of resilience or the nostalgic portrayal of childhood, this novel promises to resonate profoundly, inviting you to reflect on the enduring connections that shape our lives.

    A career cowboy, a home health nurse, and an instantaneous connection they both try to fight… 
    Elliott Hawthorne, a career cowboy, has just witnessed his best friend and cabinmate forsake bachelorhood for matrimony. He'd be joyous if he weren't so green with envy.

    Holland Marsh, the newly hired nurse for Elliott's father, is equally smitten by the handsome cowboy with a kind spirit. Their connection is immediate and powerful, filling Elliott with gratitude for finally finding someone who truly understands him. 
    But as they encounter the complex dynamics of family responsibilities and personal desires, can their love-at-first-sight grow strong enough to withstand the test of time?

    Robert Barr was born in Glasgow, Scotland on the 16th September 1849.  Five years later the family emigrated to a farm near Muirkirk in Upper Canada.  
    His early years were uneventful as the family settled into their new lives and Barr began his education. 
    A career path as a teacher opened up for him and, by 1874, he had been appointed as headmaster at the Central School at Windsor.  Concurrently he also wrote travel and humourous articles for magazines.  Within two years their success in the regional periodicals encouraged him to change careers to become a reporter and columnist. 
    In August 1876, at age 27, he married Eva Bennett and they began a family. 
    A half decade later he was the exchange editor of the ‘Free Press’ but decided to relocate to London to establish an English edition and to write fiction, which both met with much success. 
    Over the years he was a prolific writer and in 1892, along with Jerome K Jerome, he established ‘The Idler’ magazine and, just after the turn of the century, became its sole proprietor. 
    Although a number of his crime novels and short stories are parodies on Sherlock Holmes and other best-selling detectives of the time, he also wrote short stories across a whole range of subjects and genres usually with intriguing ideas and many laced with wit and humour. 
    Robert Barr died at his home in Woldingham, Surrey of heart disease on the 21st October 1912.  He was 63.
