<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>Omaha, 1905: During the gilded age, when women live subjugated to men, eighteen-year-old Bridget prides herself on having earned acceptance to medical school.</b> <p/>When her father is murdered, a crime that does not interest the law because he was half Native American, she risks her plans to become a doctor, determined to avenge his murder. <p/>Bridget's quest thrusts her into a world of seedy men and glitzy women in one of Omaha's most opulent brothels. There, she finds herself the prey rather than the hunter. <b> If she is to survive, she must keep the reclusive madam's shocking secrets, learn to trust her heart's yearning for the man who befriends her, and embrace her complicated alliance with a community of notorious women considered society's lowest.</b> <p/><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>On <i>Farthest House</i>: "Not since <i>The Lovely Bones</i> have we experienced such a moving tale of love, suspense, and family secrets narrated by a ghost." --Jonis Agee<br><br>On <i>River People</i>: "<i>River People</i> is a mesmerizing tale of love and redemption." --Jeff Kurrus, Editor, <i>Nebraskaland Magazine</i> <p/><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Margaret Lukas</b> taught writing for several years at the University of Nebraska.
