Mr. Singer's Seamstress: A Washington Territory Story (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781432889906)

Mr. Singer's Seamstress begins four years after A Feather for a Fan leaves off. Tacoma is barely eight years old--still a frontier town--but Nell Tanquist believes in its future. Brick buildings are going up; the city has an opera house, and a giant new hotel is being built--one that will rival San Francisco's famous Cliff House. But the one thing it lacks is a dress-making establishment, and Nell wants to fill that void. Getting started takes money--for the new Butterick patterns, fabrics, and notions, but, most of all, a sewing machine. The sudden death of hotel owner Jacob Halstead provides Nell with a welcome job. From spring through summer, Nell works hard, but she also has time for other things--picnics with friends, traveling to the nearby town of Steilacoom, attending an Indian potlatch, and an exciting new romance. Then summer ends, with a serious accident and an attempted kidnapping, and Nell has to be brave enough to fight.
