Cindy Ervin Huff's SECRETS & CHARADES is a creative historical fiction with rich, believable characters. The story pulls you in as you journey west with Evangeline, an accomplished doctor seeking to redefine her destiny yet not lose her identity. In a day when many women had little say over their circumstances, and at the urging of her niece, Evangeline boldly takes the steps necessary to make a new life for herself and leave behind a dark secret from her past by accepting Jake Marcum's offer to become his mail order bride. Life on the ranch is so different from life in the city, and never the same once Evangeline arrives. With "marriage" to Jake in ink only, they both begin the greatest adventure of their lives.
If you like historical fiction, with bigger-than-life characters and true-to-life details of the "olden" days, this book is for you!
