Voices From the Land by Jan Marquart

In 2006, an intuitive told Jan Marquart to sit on her land in northern New Mexico with pen and paper because there were spirits waiting to tell her their stories. Two years later Jan got the courage to do as the intuitive instructed. These are their stories.

Synopsis

Voices from the Land is a historical novel that tells the story of a small group of people and their incomparable ability to form a new town in the Southwest after President Lincoln freed the slaves in 1860. The story exposes the vicious hate of a lawless land juxtaposed against the generous compassion of the American people to attend to one another’s wounds. Despite the violence and mayhem in this vulnerable town, the indefatigable spirit of its inhabitants assures their survival.
