AlbakiReads Editorial

A Wyoming ranching town in wartime

Set in Elsinore, Wyoming, the story brings the pressures of World War II to a community where ranching shapes daily life. Evan Harsch wants to enlist after his brother dies flying a B-17 over Germany, but an old baseball injury that cost him an eye bars him from service. Abby Nicholls works at the town’s One & Only Café. These details place a romance in the intersection of wartime loss, military service, and the limits imposed on Evan by his injury, with a small Wyoming town as its setting.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers interested in historical romance set during World War II.
  • Readers drawn to Western settings and ranching communities.
  • Readers interested in stories involving military service and the effects of wartime loss.

Book overview

Elsinore, Wyoming is ranching country, where people are scarce, cattle plentiful. World War II affects everyone, including a rancher's son dead in a B-17 over Germany. Pilot Fritz Harsch's younger brother Evan yearns to enlist and finish his brother's work, but he can't. A badly thrown baseball took out his eye in a high school game years ago. Draft boards don't want even capable men wearing an eyepatch.
