ABOUT THE BOOK:
Title: What Might Have Been
Author: Marianne Plunkert
Genre: Historical Romance
BLURB:
Melissa Sullivan, desperate to escape a lecherous uncle, stows away in a wagon bound for the Colorado Territory that is owned by a high-handed lieutenant in the Union army who is escaping his own demon. While he believes he has the right to make decisions for her, she is determined to become self-sufficient like her new friend Mavis, an Irish lass with a soft heart, a hard exterior, and a weak acquaintance with the truth. A love/hate relationship, based on a series of misunderstandings and misconceptions, ensues. Upon reaching Denver, Melissa meets a handsome mine owner and accepts his offer to teach at the mining camp’s school. Afterwards, she wonders if the price she is paying is worth it.
AUTHOR BIO:
After spending 25 years in academia, teaching finance and authoring finance textbooks as an independent contractor for major publishing companies, Marianne retired early to devote more time to her lifelong dream: writing a novel and having it published. What Might Have Been,her debut novel, was inspired by the rich history of the Denver, Colorado, area she discovered while living there. She currently resides in western North Carolina and enjoys hearing from her readers.
