Praise for Rogue River Reprieve.
“Salmon, love, greed. A hard rock miner. A corrupt sheriff . An ugly
fi stfi ght. A deadly stretch of whitewater deep in the Rogue River
wilderness. Th ese are among the true-life ingredients in this precise,
white-knuckle story of the new Old West, told by one of its survivors.”
Letters from England is about living with our
family of fi ve for three years in
Cambridgeshire Village.
