Book Cover & Preview Text
Mountain Rose is based on the Mountain men that roamed the Rocky Mountains during the early to late 1800's. They lived in dangerous surroundings, and most of them were in fear of their life as they came in contact with grizzly bears and hostile Indians. The life of the Mountain man was rough and most of the time they always faced death on a daily basis, and they were not by the yearly calendar, but by the climate and all four seasons. Many were free trappers who were independent and able to trade their pelts to whoever would provide the best prices, and that is what Rosette was. But when the need came to have more pelts to sell, she would hunt with the mess group which was ran by men and they all could not stand her. Most of the men would scorn and mock her just because she was a woman who was free to speak her mind and was not afraid to tell people what she thought. They day that she met Chris, was the day that changed her life forever. His human behavior and responses was unclear, but she wanted to know if this man was for real, or was in just her imagination? There is one question that lingered in the back of her mind, could she ever trust him again?
