The Traveling Archivist
Mary B. Hansen
Belletristik / Gegenwartsliteratur (ab 1945)
Beschreibung
Running from the aftermath of a local murder and attempting to escape the pain of betrayal and loss, professional archivist Della Waters takes a temporary job as a traveling archivist in a small town in Eastern Oregon.
An outsider in this close-knit rural community, Della immerses herself in the archives where she discovers misfiled trial documents detailing a racist massacre of thirty-four Chinese gold miners more than one hundred years ago. Her research uncovers uncomfortable truths for the local pioneer families.
Will the pillars of the community embrace their hidden past or try to destroy it and her?
