Mountain Shadows: a Story of the Rocky Mountains Barbara Deutsch Likely 1st edition

Can our dreams sometimes foretell something that may happen? Letty O'Bannon wonders about this. Set against the backdrop of the booming turn-of-the-century Pikes Peak gold rush era, this novel follows clairvoyant Letty through her life of pursuing her childhood dream, love, adventure, tragedy and handling loss. This novel offers a tale of suspense, mystery and romance as Letty learns life's lessons while never giving up her dream. An excerpt from the story follows: While changing clothes, the crystal dropped to the floor. She retrieved it, admiring its resplendent hues reflecting the light coming in the window. As she turned to finish dressing, she thought she saw movement in the crystal. She carried it close to the window and stared into its depths in disbelief. She seemed to see a small child standing at the top of the mountain, beckoning to her. She blinked and looked again, but the apparition was gone. She shook her head to clear it. It must have been her imagination. She gazed intently at the crystal, trying to conjure up the image a second time. The child did not reappear. She replaced the crystal on the table.
