A fast-paced western novel combined with historical facts, romance, and mystery make Goodbye, Belvidere a must read. Set in the rolling plains of western South Dakota, where ranchers and homesteaders peacefully co-exist, WWI breaks out with fury and fear for everyone. Added to the tension of loved ones serving in France is the heightened awareness that a far deadlier enemy is invading not only the trenches, but also the unsuspecting civilians back home.

Share the grief with CJ Crezner as some of his family succumbs to the deadly Spanish flu. Join him as he tackles driving his first automobile…with his spurs securely fastened to his boots. There’s intrigue while he and a lovely mystery lady meet the wicked woman he calls Beauty, and humor at the methods his wily friend Joker uses to rescue him. CJ grieves when the Bohemian family, who homesteads nearby, struggles through hard times. Is Antonio’s heartbreaking departure a foretaste of what’s to come?

As hemlines creep up and ankles become exposed, Joanna Crezner’s impatience with constant change in their lives becomes evident. Will she and CJ finally decide to accept the challenge that has hovered over them throughout the entire trilogy?
