Produktbeschreibung
He has no family. She wishes hers would leave her alone.

Lawrence's mother has just died. With the little money he has left after paying her medical bills, he heads to Seattle to make a fresh start.

Deborah has plenty of family support, but not for moving to the big city. Her parents think she should stay on the farm and marry a nice local boy.

But both Lawrence and Deborah are determined to make their own way. And both dream of finding not just a job, but a career, a way of life. Each hopes that the risks they take will pay off in the end, but their family issues are an ongoing distraction.

And then the recession hits. Deborah loses her job. Lawrence teeters towards homelessness. Will either of them survive the streets of Seattle?

Loretta Miles Tollefson grew up in the mountains of the Pacific Northwest. She moved to Seattle as a young adult, where she observed firsthand the impact of the early 1980s recession.

Autorenporträt
Loretta Miles Tollefson has been publishing fiction and poetry since 1975. (She's not old--she started young!) Growing up in foothills of the Olympic Mountains in the log cabin her grandfather built and her father was born in led naturally to an interest in history and historical fiction. When she retired to the mountains of northern New Mexico, writing historical fiction set there was a logical result. The Moreno Valley Sketches books are the first in many planned books set there.

Before turning to historical fiction full time, Loretta wrote Crown of Laurel, a novel set in Seattle in the recession of the early 1980's. Loretta holds a B.S. in Bible Education from Multnomah University in Portland, Oregon. This background informs her poetry collections Mary at the Cross: Voices from the New Testament and And Then Moses Was There: Voices from the Old Testament.

In the mid-1980's, Loretta and her husband suffered the loss of their first child in the fifth month of pregnancy. Her poetry collection But Still My Child came out of that period and is designed to help others deal with the pain of miscarriage.

Loretta holds M.A.'s in Communication and in English Literature from the University of New Mexico. Most days, you'll find her researching New Mexico history in the 1800's and writing furiously. She publishes short historical fiction every week at LorettaMilesTollefson.Wordpress.com.
