The blacksmith's bravery / Susan Page Davis. Waterville, Maine : Thorndike Press, 2010. 531 p. "By age twelve, Vashti Edwards was orphaned and working her way west in different saloons. Life in Fergus, Idaho, has given Vashti new hope in Christian friends from the Ladies' Shooting Club and an employer who turned her saloon into a restaurant. But money is tight and Vashti tries to get the job she's dreamed of--stagecoach driver. Griffin Bane, local blacksmith, is overseeing the stagecoach line and admits he needs more help. But can a woman--even one known to be a good markswoman--handle the challenges and dangers on the trail? As soon as Vashti starts her new job, the line is targeted by a band of robbers. Was Griffin a fool to put a woman at the reins, and can he bravel the beautiful distraction she makes as he takes to riding shotgun? Will the Ladies' Shooting Club catch the bandits and bring the stubborn couple together?"--P. [4] of cover. 20120810. Stagecoach robberies Fiction. Sex role Fiction. Man-woman relationships Fiction.
