Wilhelmina Sukovich is curious and determined to have her own By Line in the Sacramento Bee. Aged out at the Children’s Home Society orphanage, she attends night school and works herself up in the newspaper hierarchy. Her first big break comes as an assignment takes her to the small mountain town of San Andreas in the Gold Country of the Sierra Nevada Mountains. She searches out her father’s gravesite only to mysteriously be drawn to the artistry of an ancient tombstone nearby, Eliza Osbourne, 1868. Formidable ranchers and a widow befriend her in her quest to fulfill her assignment for school children and search for Eliza’s roots. World War II veteran, Charles, rescues Will from her misadventures. Who is he and why is he such a recluse? Why has he taken it upon himself to see she is safe?
My Review:
"The Girl on the Tombstone: Will's Search to Belong" by Betty Ruth Weatherby is another example of why I have to finished every book that I start, I didn't like the book when I started reading it but it got better in the middle and the ending was great. At the start of the book it was written as Will was telling her story and then it switched to saying Will did this and that.
This book has some interesting twists. I felt Will's heartache as she remembered growing up in the orphanage.
This story is not a tale of everything being roses but there are happy scenes as well as scenes that makes the eyes water.
The history of the mine shafts as part of the story really makes this an interesting read.
The characters in this story would make great neighbors and friends in my opinion. I would really like to meet James and Milo.
I was given a complimentary copy by the author and Celebrate Lit. These opinions are my own.
