<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>When her husband is kidnapped by ruthless gold miners, frontier woman Briar Logan is forced to accept the help of an emotionally damaged young man and a famous female horse trainer. On her quest to save her husband, she discovers that adventures of the heart are almost as dangerous as tracking down lawless killers.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Briar Logan is a loner who has already survived a wretched childhood, near starvation, and the harsh western frontier in the 1860s. Just when she is on the brink of finally opening her heart to the possibilities of happiness, the love of her life is kidnapped by lawless gold miners--and she steels herself for what could be the greatest loss of her life. Desperate to save her husband and the solitary life they have carved out of the wilderness, Briar is forced to accept the help of a damaged young man and a notorious female horse trainer. Facing whiskey runners, gold thieves, unpredictable elements, and men who will stop at nothing to get what they want, the unlikely trio must forge an uncommon bond in order to survive. Full of lessons of love, letting go, and the real meaning of family, <em>A Dangerous Woman From Nowhere</em> is a timeless western adventure story about courage, change, risk, and learning how to unlock damaged hearts and live in the sweet moments of now.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><b>Past Praise for Radish: </b> <b>2016 International Book Awards</b>: Finalist, Historical Fiction <b>2015 USA Book Awards</b>: Finalist, Historical Fiction "Kris Radish creates characters that seek and then celebrate the discovery of women's innate power." --<i>The Denver Post</i><br> "As in her previous best-selling novels (<i>A Grand Day To Get Lost</i>), Radish weaves an engaging story of inspiring women who discover the importance of being true to one's ideal --<i>Library Journal</i><br> <i>The Year of Necessary Lies</i> is a memorable and beautifully written story about reinvention, standing up for your beliefs, and staying true to yourself, no matter what the cost." --Kristin Contino, author of <i>The Legacy of Us</i><br> Feminism and activism go hand in hand in this romantic novel about women's empowerment and living life to the fullest. Kris Radish's tenth novel, <i>The Year of Necessary Lies</i>, highlights women's role in the Audubon Society campaign to eradicate feathers from ladies' hats. Her fictional heroine is a composite portrait of the many courageous women who stood up to plume hunters and the fashion industry alike in the early years of the twentieth century . . . Radish creates an authentic Southern atmosphere dripping with sweat and packed with rattlesnakes and egrets. Julia's raucous boat journey, punctuated by an erroneous stop at a Savannah brothel, is a highlight. She is a compelling protagonist, ably supported by an eccentric cast of ex-hunters and coastal hermits. Cameos from historical figures ranging from William Randolph Hearst to Mark Twain help place Julia in a convincing turn-of-the-century context of change and creativity. Recommended to fans of Anita Diamant's <i>The Boston Girl</i> and Sue Monk Kidd's <i>The Invention of Wings</i>." --<i>Foreword Reviews</i><br> "Radish's characters know how to have a good time on their way to matriarchal nirvana." --<i>Kirkus Reviews</i><br> <b>What Radish's readers are saying . . .</b> "Kris's characters are my kindred spirits--they are flawed, but <em>real</em>. They love deeply and authentically, lifting others up. Her books have changed my life and inspired me to <em>live</em>!" --Debbie Smith, Texas "Her stories transport me to a new world, one I can imagine living in.

Her writing helps me to find the courage and strength to push beyond the self-imposed boulders in my life. As Kris and her characters grow, I have also grown." --Sue Mulhern, Delaware "Reading Kris's work has shown me the valuable connection between all women. I love how she gets inside the hearts of all women and because of her writing I have laughed, cried, struggled and explored in ways I never thought possible." --Mieke Melotte, Belgium "Kris Radish has the ability to touch her readers in such a way that you immediately feel a connection with each one of them. Her writing has great depth and I feel as if I know the character or a part of her could also be a part of me." --Cindy Baker, Michigan "We know Kris Radish's characters and as we see them change through adversity, insight, or simple circumstances we also change and grow.
