I am so excited to be sharing my love of Leadville with you. When my husband’s family came to America at the turn of the century, Leadville was where they settled. While we no longer have living relatives in Leadville, we have a family home there we regularly visit, and spending time immersed in Leadville history is something we’ve always enjoyed.
When I decided to write a historical, I knew it would have to be set in this beloved town. The story itself came when I read an old newspaper from the 1880s that featured an ad for a debate between two pastors on whether or not miners were beyond redemption. It intrigued me to know that in those days, certain classes of people were viewed as too low for salvation. Hence, Pastor Lassiter and his mission was born. It is the perfect place for a man like Joseph to find help, and for a woman like Annabelle, on the verge of losing hope, to find it again.
I hope this story encourages you, and no matter where you are situated in life, you know that there is always hope.
