Reviews
"An interesting and readable story, but what makes it more profound is that all these characters actually existed, with nearly unchanged backstories." -Booklist "A deeply moving novel that is so beautifully crafted you can't help but feel the sun beat down on your back or the snow bite into your skin. The evocative setting and well-researched history combined with nuanced characters make this novel one not to miss." -Historical Novels Review "With The Fire and the Ore, Olivia Hawker delivers a compelling and epic novel that proves she is a master of her craft, a storyteller of supreme talent. This book is all heart. It's meticulously researched, brilliantly constructed, and rich with historical detail. On top of all that, it's a stunning and breathtaking page-turner...This is, quite simply, a beautiful book that readers will love and devour." -Julianne MacLean, USA Today bestselling author "A beautiful and nuanced story about a little-known and little-understood period of history and three women who have every reason to dislike one another but, driven by different levels of faith, need, and ambition, find their way to a deep and lasting bond. The Fire and the Ore is a well-researched and deeply felt novel of tragedy, hope, and connection." -Megan Chance, bestselling author of A Splendid Ruin "Based on real family history, this is the heartrending story of the trials endured by Mormon converts as they made their way across the American wilderness to their promised land and of the triumph of sisterhood over adversity. A must read for fans of Western history." -Rhys Bowen, New York Times bestselling author of The Venice Sketchbook
