Did you ever want to pack it in and start anew? Abandon your family? Reinvent your life? 'Miles Apart' follows the path of Amelia Morrison, who as a young girl is traumatized and haunted by the loss of someone close. Right or wrong, she blames her father. He is the patriarchal head of a Berkeley hospital founded by his late father, a gambling doctor who returned from the gold mining town of You Bet with a baby, but vague on the identity of the mother. Amelia marries the favored protege and heir apparent of her father. She tries to play the part of mother and loyal spouse, but struggles with old demons and events out of her control. From a horse thief in Kentucky to a womanizing doctor seeking riches in a California gold mining town, from a horse ranch in Cody, Wyoming to Berkeley, California in the tumultuous nineteen-sixties, this rollicking novel connects six generations. It follows them through war, disease, tragedy, family disharmony and how the ultimate power of love and family doesn't always overcome disagreement and resentment.
