About
the Book
Eva and Solo find love at The Inn at
Falls Creek, while Bailey’s quest to reach the Land costs her everything.
Young widow Eva Vestal assumes loneliness is God’s permanent plan for her life.
She keeps busy by raising her son and co-managing the Inn at Falls Creek with
her elderly father, but her heart yearns for more.
Solomon “Solo” Cotter has spent his life working with horses, but he secretly
wants to write a book of the children’s stories his grandfather told him as a
boy. He barters with Eva’s father for a 40-night stay at the inn, a needed
respite from work to get his stories on paper.
Once Eva discovers the barter, she believes Solo is taking advantage of her
father’s failing memory. But when tragedy strikes and Solo works hard to save
the inn, Eva sees his true nature. As her heart stirs with feelings for Solo,
she wrestles with the guilt of loving someone new.
Meanwhile, outside the Land...

My
review
Uncharted Journey picks up the
thread of post-apocalyptic Earth and one young woman’s desperation to find her
roots and escape a violent and hopeless life. Trouble is…the family she seeks
disappeared two hundred years ago and the only evidence is from a crazy man
asking her to catalog a plant that can’t exist. Even worse…Bailey discovers this
plant has properties worth killing for.
Bailey convinces her former
professor to connect with his nephew who runs a charter boat service. The crazy
man’s directions are even loonier—to find this place where the impossible plant
exists is to head way south and wait on only one day of the year, the fall
equinox, when this island appears like Brigadoon. Imagine her surprise when it
works.
Arrival is a shock to both Bailey’s
crewmates and the security team of Good Springs, who include a former pilot who
had arrived at the Uncharted Land some years earlier and made it his home. One
of the initial security party members is a young man in training named Revel
who is new to the area.
The parallel Land story is that of
Revel’s widowed sister, Eva, who is left as the oldest daughter to run the
family business in a society whose traditions over seven generations decrees
the son follow his father’s trade. In Revel and Eva’s case, that’s the Inn, a
business out in the middle of nowhere, in which Revel has no interest, but a
long-term guest, Solomon, discovers he’d rather be nowhere else. Eva has a way
to go before she can corral her fears for her ailing family members, their
livelihood which affects her ability to raise her young son, and her lonely
heart.
It’s a brave new era in the Land
Uncharted, when young people are breaking out of the customs of
mid-nineteenth-century-era American colonialism and finding their own way.
Women can become doctors, run businesses, even wear pants, and sons are
choosing their own careers.
