Passing Storms

This eagerly awaited sequel to Dear Carrie, Letters From the Eastern Sierra 1878-1899 is Kathleen Haun’s second work of historical fiction, set in the wild beauty of the Eastern Sierra.  The saga of the Eastman and Perry families continues in a memoir written by Whitney Eastman in 1940 to reveal the long-hidden events occurring in her life between 1900 and 1908.  Raised by doting parents and a loving community, Whitney marries and moves north to Bridgeport expecting an equally happy life on a cattle ranch.  But she soon discovers that the cloistered security of her childhood was poor preparation for dealing with stunning revelations about her new family, devastating loss, and betrayals that challenge Whitney and those she loves as they weather the passing storms in their lives.
