Hunter'S Hill

by Deborah Ballou

Overview

To Margie Sievers, life in Duluth, Minnesota is a wonderful mixture of excitement and security. Duluth is a city on the rise with everything from simple community gatherings to grand galas in gilded ballrooms. Rich Europeans and Eastern Americans spend summers in their elegant homes along the cool shores of Lake Superior. On Hunter's Hill near her home Margie sketches her dress designs, hoping to publish them in the fashion magazines of the day and to see them transformed from paper to fabric. Into her secure, happy world rides Roman Greyson, a friendly, confident Englishman whose smile leaves level-headed Margie unaccountably flustered. Over the next two years they become good friends, but are they more? And is there a place for him in the plans she has so carefully made on Hunter's Hill?

About the Author

Deborah Ballou is a fifty-something wife, mother of two, former English teacher, current guest teacher, full-time writer and perpetual student. Her other books, Yeshua Wept, The Highwayman, and The May Queen reveal her diverse interests both in setting and subject matter. Her love of poetry links the latter books and Hunter's Hill. “They are my Poetry-in-Motion novels, although I didn't think to call them that until after The Highwayman was published. Alfred Noyes' wonderful poem inspired that book, Alfred Lord Tennyson's The May Queen served as a back drop for my The May Queen, and now Hunter's Hill draws on various pre-twentieth century poems to add depth to the lives of my pre-twentieth century characters. I have always found poems to be such lovely friends.” Ms. Ballou is currently at work on two other novels.
