The Ring That Binds
By Linda Carroll-Bradd
Linda, what do you love about this book?
I love the small personal feel to this story that
contains fewer than ten characters.
In The Ring
That Binds (a western historical novella that spent 7 weeks on Kindle Top
100 western romance list), a widowed seamstress Celina strives to earn enough
money to provide a happy Christmas for her 4-year old daughter, Keena. Co-owner
of the general store, Mikel Toussaint has his eye on Celina and wishes for the
chance to make her life a bit easier. Mikel is an emigrant from the Basque
region of Spain. He and his older brother, Danel, arrived about four years
earlier than the story’s 1884 setting. Mikel is effusive, generous and not shy
about the fact his English is sometimes rough. He loves little Keena and slips
her treats whenever he can. The gesture he makes at the conclusion of the story
brought tears to my eyes as I wrote it.
I learned that Aspen, Colorado experienced a big
silver mining strike in the early 1880s that boomed when the railroad reached
the town in 1887 and provided the means to transport large quantities of the
ore.
