Description
A compelling new narrative of Civil War-era politics in Washington, D.C. incorporates family machinations, historical drama and riveting romance set against a backdrop of the universal struggle for freedom and human rights. Emmy O’Malley Evers and her family have journeyed from the Pacific Northwest and survived murder, kidnapping and a train heist to build a life with Emmy’s father, a Massachusetts Congressman elected on the Democratic ticket. In The Fairness of Beasts [Solipsis Publishing, October 24, 2017], readers discover that the family’s - and the country’s - journey is far from over.
Through this family connection, Emmy learns of army campaigns that will affect her fiancé, Rory Brett, whose home was commandeered by Confederate troops. When Emmy embarks on a perilous mission to save him, she leaves her children Jacob and Sarah in the care of her sister Kathleen. This proves disastrous and the children are plunged into a drama of their own, during which Sarah finds herself in the throes of young love with a clever and charming street urchin in the underground of Manhattan.

Advance Praise
"Widow Walk is American Historical Fiction in the finest tradition, a direct descendent of Last of the Mohicans and Cold Mountain. LaSalle recounts the brutal, poignant clash between Native American Indian tribes and white settlers in the Pacific Northwest with economy and beauty, writing clean, devastating prose that clutches at your heart. This lean, unsparing narrative will make you look away in sorrow--before raising your fist in triumph. A quintessential rendering of the American Experience."
- Richard Barager, author of Altamont Augie Silver Medal winner 2011 Book of the Year Awards
