Post-Civil War Western Short Story by Award-Winning Author

BIGFORK, Mont. - Jan. 30, 2016 - PRLog -- The war is over between the North and the South, but the battles at home are just beginning.

MK says, "The women of Crooked Creek have an uncommon strength and determination to not only live the lives they desire, but to live with purpose. Each in search of their own new beginning and second chance, Emma, Hattie, Briley, and now Clara, have shown us how remarkable a woman of courage can be in a time when it wasn't always expected; when people may not have believed in them."

About the Story: No longer willing to allow society’s opinion to influence her life, Clara Stowe sought a change, and what better place than the frontier. With her young daughter by her side, she embarks on an unexpected undertaking to the Montana Territory. With grit and determination, they arrive in Crooked Creek to shape the life Clara had always dreamed of and honor the memory of the one they lost.

"Clara of Crooked Creek" is the fourth short story installment of the Crooked Creek series set in post-Civil War Montana.
