The Foundlings

A brilliant novel of three families is woven as a magical history of Colorado in the late 1800s and early 1900s. This marvelous panorama of history, seen through the lives of symbolic people of the ages, is a review of the conflicts, hardships, ethnic mixing and torrid loves that accompanied the building of the West. It tells of a magnificent historical saga of our land and its people—the American spirit and drive—while living in the shadows of the Spanish Peaks in Colorado's untamed high empire. The drama unfolds across the vast land of Colorado—once ruled by Spain—a land rich with the heritage of different civilizations that at times wrought difficulties, misunderstandings and, in many instances, profound love. A brave new generation moving across American history's colorful canvas is The Foundlings. From its Wild West days to the birth of the gilded age—poised, but unknowingly on the brink of their country's greatest generation—to building a dynasty, The Foundlings could have been written only by one who lives there.
