Fragile Hopes, Transient Dreams: and Other Stories

Pablo Picasso once said, "art is lies that tell the truth". Although these stories are fiction, they delve deeply into the reality of life on The Great Plains."Fragile Hopes, Transient Dreams is a saga you'll not easily forget. It is love and trust, hardship and turmoil, life and death from the settlement days forward in Southwest Kansas. Edna Bell-Pearson masterfully brings to life the hard times and the spirited people who lived and died there."-Gordon A. Kessler, author of Jezebel, Dead Reckoning and Novel Writing Made Simple"Edna Bell-Pearson's book, Fragile Hopes, Transient Dreams, is a clear and honest story about pioneer life in southwest Kansas. Her steady voice and compassion for her subject breathes life into her characters and reveals the conflicts and struggles early Kansas settlers faced as they attempted to tame the frontier. You won't be disappointed."-Troy Boucher author of Prince of the Plains and The Last Kansas Exit
