One day, Will Millhouse, an ordinary, lonesome bachelor, encounters a young girl who claims to be his daughter from the future. Should he believe her? Cristina of Aspen Aisle is a mystery, a frontier adventure, and a love story that reminds us of the echoing beauty and joy all around us, if we are willing to see with new eyes. "It's exactly the kind of book I would love to read but is impossible to find. I suppose I feel...giddy, agape, aglow, awakened to fresh awareness 'that I too am a man in love.' It has all the freshness of a first novel but none of the flaws. I'm in awe of the mastery of plot, suspense, timing, tone: all such delicate matters yet handled with perfect pitch. Case has really learned well from L.M. Montgomery, and indeed improved upon her in that his writing is so brilliantly and unabashedly God-struck. And the clarity of the prose: all the way through there's nary a misstep in sentence structure, rhythm, dialogue, etc. The writing never gets in the way of itself, and this alone is no small feat." —MIKE MASON, best-selling author of The Mystery of Marriage and Same Old, Same NewZum Buch

This work has all the gripping excitement of the American west in postbellum America and the operations of the seventh Cavalry in and around the Little Bighorn valley. Heart stopping cavalry charges, desperate solders surrounded and cut off from the rest of the command, forced to fight their way out, the Indigenous struggle to freely live a life they had lived for thousands of years, and the gut-wrenching sadness the futility of war produces Except for Will and Jake, all the characters, times, dates, actions, and movements in this book are historically accurate and written in the same manner as Michael Shaara’s. Killer Angels, or Jeff Shaara’s Gone for Soldiers.Zum Buch
