Cheryl’s Book Nook calls The Silver Baron’s Wife a “treasure of a read”!
The Silver Baron's Wife traces the rags-to-riches-to-rags life of Colorado's Baby Doe Tabor (Lizzie). This fascinating heroine worked in the silver mines and had two scandalous marriages, one to a philandering opium addict and one to a Senator and silver baron worth $24 million in the late 19th century. Lizzie really was the whole star of this story. I just loved the way the author writes. I felt like I really could picture the cabin that Lizzie and Harvey, her first husband moved into when they first came out to Colorado. Big kudos to Lizzie for being a strong, independent woman. This is what I loved the most about her.
