As the election of 1860 draws near and political tensions between North and South threatens to escalate into a full-scale war, Corrie Belle Hollister finds herself thrust into the political arena.
Her reputation as California's Woman Reporter and her vain attempts to help Colonel John Fremont in the presidential election of 1856 have brought her to the attention of the leaders of California's new Republican Party. And the handsome young political aide, Cal Burton, helps to convince Corrie that Lincoln and the partyâeven the nation itselfâdepend upon the influence she can wield through her speaking and writing.
Corrie firmly believes that slavery is wrong, and that she should do what she can to help Lincoln get elected. But mounting conflict within the Hollister clan and in the nation at large bring her to the realization that the decisions she makes could change her life forever.
Her Reputation Has Spread Beyond California. Is Politics Her Future. . .or Something Else?
Corrie's journalism opportunities have opened the door to a whole new world beyond Miracle Springs--a world of politics, travel, as well as the national unrest of the Civil War. Corrie writes about everything from her own personal threshold of young adulthood.
