"When a dashing newspaper man comes to Mesquite Springs, aspiring writer Dorothy Clark sees her dreams coming true-until a man arrives with altogether different plans for the town and its newspaper"-- Provided by publisher.
Dorothy Clark dreams of writing something that will challenge people, but in 1850s Mesquite Springs there are few opportunities for writers. Newspaperman Brandon Holloway arrives in town committed to making a new-- and complete uncontroversial-- start in the Hill Country. As Dorothy's involvement in the fledgling newspaper grows from convenient to essential, can they work together to discover who is determined to divide the town-- and destroy Brandon's livelihood? -- adapted from back cover
