A Glimpse and Gone Forever: New Hope Series Book 4

Lizbeth Ericson comes home to New Hope, Nebraska, with her future stretching out in front of her much like the tracks of the Union Pacific Railway stretch out onto the prairie. New Hope is a railroad town made up of kind, hard-working, thrifty, and ambitious people. People much like Lizbeth herself. She’s a budding author and a recent college graduate, a bright young woman on the threshold of a new and exciting life. When she’s offered a job at the local newspaper, she can’t wait to start. Lizbeth knows she has a lot to learn, and she’s eager to begin.

When unexplained malice, mysterious threats, and a shocking murder suddenly occur in New Hope, Lizbeth realizes she has more to learn than she first thought. The newspaper business and the workings of the printing press, of course, but there are other, more important lessons coming her way. Lizbeth must learn that people aren’t always what they seem. That love can turn to mischief and grief to spite. And that looking too far into the future can make a person miss what – and who – is right there in front of her. The events of the summer of 1886 in New Hope, Nebraska, will teach Lizbeth Ericson about life and love, and about herself, too. Especially about herself, which may end up being her most important lesson of all.
