5 Star Reviewed:
When I first started reading this novel, I only read a few chapters at a time. As the story developed, that changed as I looked forward to my nightly read. When I finished the novel, I realized I'd gotten goosebumps while reading the final chapter. It is my hope that the story has just begun and there will be more to come. It will be read it again as I look forward to its continuation!

Addictively good prose sucked me right into this one! Alex Kecskes has a way with metaphors. Is this a Western or is it a Mystery that turns into Science fiction about two lovers, the beautiful Doctor Rene and a mysterious Doctor Charles who heals sick children and coal minors and Cherokee Indians ? Is his Magical Medical Bag the source of his amazing powers? Does boy get girl when Charles attracts the attentions and interest of the enquiring Doctor Rene???

Could not put it down. Made me truly feel I was in that special place, being able to experience all of the emotions of the characters. The descriptions and dialog seamlessly told a thought-provoking tale of intrigue and romance. Just can't wait for the sequel. Alex Kecskes is definitely on my list of new authors to follow.
