The BookSeller (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798998656538)

In the summer of 1885 a bookstore opened in San Francisco. Among its customers are:

A young man with a strange gift for drawing people to him.

A woman who wants to become a doctor, in 1885 America, a daunting ambition.

A man who spent the first half of his life as a slave, the other half wandering around, feeling free.

A woman orphaned by the murder of her family in a gold rush camp who, thirty-five years later, still carries a Bowie knife behind her belt.

A blind girl with a phenomenal memory.

A half-Kiowa, half-Cheyenne Indian trying to fit in a white world.

A woman who raised two children while running a store in the Wyoming wilderness fifty miles from her closest neighbor.

A gentle giant from a farm in Minnesota.

And the proprietor of the fanciest whore house in San Francisco during the gold rush, who marries rich and become the wealthiest widow on the Pacific Slope.

These and others are part of a story of San Francisco in the late 19th century and how people can change the world around them by doing what they believe is right.
