The Civil War ended, but the battle for home, family, and survival has just begun.
From Wall Street Journal and Amazon bestselling author Donna Foley Mabry comes the breathtaking sixth installment in The Manhattan Stories and second entry in The Currans series-a high-stakes 19th-century tale of fierce maternal love, betrayal, and unyielding frontier grit.
Sixteen-year-old D'Arcy Curran has already faced more turmoil than most experience in a lifetime. Rather than surrender little Danny-the child she has raised from birth as her own-D'Arcy takes a desperate gamble: she kidnaps her sister Suzanne's son and flees back to the only safe sanctuary she knows: Manhattan, Kansas.
Back on the family homestead, D'Arcy quickly learns that danger wears many faces. When marauding Jayhawkers murder her father and leave her mother paralyzed by grief, D'Arcy refuses to break. Defying social conventions by wearing trousers, strapping on a gun, and taking over management of the farm, she fights to protect her home. But romantic and personal complications loom large when she is drawn to Royce Quinn, the farm foreman who years earlier swore his heart to Suzanne. And when Suzanne unexpectedly returns to demand both her son and Royce back, D'Arcy faces her ultimate test of loyalty, love, and survival.
Why Readers Love Curran Glen:

- High-Stakes Family & Romantic Drama: Emotional conflict as sisterly betrayal, custody battles, and tangled past loves threaten to tear the Curran family apart.
- Authentic Post-Civil War History: Richly detailed depiction of Bleeding Kansas aftermath, Jayhawker raids, and the harsh realities of homesteading.
- Masterful Bestselling Prose: Donna Foley Mabry delivers her signature blend of quick-witted banter, intense pacing, and deep emotional resonance.
