most colorful historic characters, Winfield Scott Stratton, eccentric owner of
the richest gold mine in Cripple Creek, and Pearl DeVere, the beautiful madam
of The Old Homestead, come to life as this old-fashioned, coming-of-age saga
unfolds, the first of two historical fiction novels by debut author Mim

About the Author:
A desire to become
involved again in the folk music world brought about the creation of her
acoustic quartet Trillium, now in its 15th year, a folk band well known for its
eclectic repertoire performing throughout the Midwest that has also released
four cds. She’s also written the lyrics and music for two award-winning
original children’s cds, “Why Do Ducks Have Webby Toes?” and “Wander Down
Beyond the Rainbow” and occasionally schedules concerts of her children’s music
and movement programs.
Always captivated by
the writings, diaries and journals of late 19th century women, as well as that
era’s economic, social and political upheavals, Ms. Eichmann has now put pen to
paper and the historical fiction novel she has been passionately researching,
its rich synopsis gradually evolving over many years, has finally become a reality.
We hope you’ll enjoy A Sparrow Alone and its sequel Muskrat
Ramble.
