A Claim of Her Own by Stephanie Grace Whitson

Never having read any of her historical titles, I was excited about picking up this particular title by Stephanie Grace Whitson. If you enjoy historical fiction, then this book is for you. Ms. Whitson has written a fine book about Miss Mattie O’Keefe – a young woman with spunk and grit. Mattie comes to Deadwood in search of her brother, but ends up finding more than she’d ever thought possible. Many people in Deadwood befriend her and draw her in to their circle of love, and Mattie has never experienced such a thing before. With betrayal in her recent past and the possibility of someone being after her, Mattie is determined to take care of herself and learn the ways of Deadwood. Read her story of ups and downs and joys and sorrows in this tale that will not only captivate you from page one but also keep you captivated.
I really enjoyed the way this book flowed and the twists and turns along the way. Ms. Whitson is an eloquent, insightful writer. I highly recommend that you stake your claim and pick up this piece of gold sooner than later. You certainly will be glad you did!

A Garden in Paris by Stephanie Grace Whitson

Have you ever been so down and out that you wanted to end it all? That is where Mary finds herself at the beginning of this book. She then comes upon an idea to write a letter to a friend from the past and embarks on a journey that will turn her life on its side. Mary’s daughter Liz doesn’t understand what her mother is doing or thinking, but she realizes that she needs to try to find her mother in Paris. What will happen when a woman with a hidden past meets up with a daughter who knows nothing of it? Only God knows how it will all work out. This dramatic tale of two women and their personal differences and struggles is well worth the time spent. I hope that you can find A Garden… to curl up in and enjoy this great story from Ms. Whitson.
