No Shadow Of Turning Above The Mist

Johnny McLane and his young bride Cassie are best friends and soul mates in this post- Civil War story, set at a time of rapid western expansion and settlement of lands. Law and order must take hold in the fragile communities before statehood can come to Wyoming Territory. Johnny and Cassie's desire to live peacefully as a family on their small farm near the town of Sideling is disrupted by Johnny's commission as a newly hired U.S. Deputy Marshal. His task: to help bring stability to the region, by supporting justice, and apprehending notorious outlaw Judd Barrow. Navigating through the first year of marriage, dark events threaten their existence. A devastating personal loss, job-related attacks, injuries, and necessary long separations, will test the couple's strength of character and their endurance. When the stiff winds of adversity pass, there will be lasting consequences of not only temporal, but eternal significance. Joan Fountain is a Registered Nurse and lives with her husband, Walter. Their "homestead" in Maryland is also inhabited by horses, pigs, poultry, rabbits, cats, and a huge guardian stock dog named Bennie. For over twenty years, Joan volunteered as a Challenger leader for the Pioneer Girls program, an arm of the Christian Service Brigade, mentoring and teaching outdoor and life skills to teen girls. She serves as a teen mission leader at her church. Joan's hobbies include backpacking, canoeing, and everything out-of-doors. Since the age of four, she has been drawn to the West, especially her "adopted" states of Wyoming and Colorado. Years of detailed research and exploration in the western states have culminated in the exciting No Shadow of Turning trilogy. Joan is an associate member of the Western Writers of America.
