One for the Blackbird, One for the Crow by Olivia Hawker is a standalone novel. It is Wyoming in the year 1876. The Bemis and Webber families have relied on one another for as long as they have lived on the frontier. It is a matter of survival because there are no other settlers for miles. But Ernest Bemis doesn’t think about survival when he sees Cora in a compromising situation with their neighbor. Ernest is sent to prison, a man is killed in an impulsive moment, and the women who were left behind are divided between rage and regret.

For stoic Nettie Mae, losing her husband to Cora’s indiscretion is yet another hardship. However, Cora and Nettie Mae are forced to unite as a family in order to share the responsibilities of cultivating the land and raising their children as a brutal Wyoming winter approaches. Clyde, the son of Nettie Mae, who is no longer a boy but is not yet a man, must navigate the path to adulthood without a father, and Beulah, the daughter of Cora, is as wild and uncontrollable as her prairie home.

But when Clyde and Beulah fall in love, their bonds are tested once more, and these strong women must finally decide if they can learn to trust each other or risk losing everything they care about.

   I just learned about Madam Lou Graham on a news broadcast on Friday (3/29/24). I researched her more + found that Libbie Hawker/Olivia Hawker wrote 2 books about Seattle’s history. I’d like to buy both, but I only know the name of one – Madam. Could you please tell me the name of the other? I read somewhere that Ms. Hawker is also writing a biography on Ms. Lou Graham? I’d certainly like to read that when it becomes available.
