A Distance Too Grand
Book 1 of the American Wonders series
384 pages · First published 2019
In 1871, photographer Meg Pero joins a U.S. Army survey expedition into the Grand Canyon after her father’s death leaves her determined to prove herself professionally. The expedition’s leader, Captain Ben Coleridge, is a man from Meg’s past who knows exactly how dangerous the journey will be and how stubbornly she will resist special protection. Rapids, desert terrain, equipment failures, and the demands of documenting an unmapped landscape turn the assignment into a test of both skill and trust. Regina Scott opens the American Wonders Collection with historical romance and exploration centered on one of the nation’s most dramatic landscapes.
