A must-read for those who are striving to fulfill their dreams." - Seattle Book Review</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>In the devastating aftermath of the 1889 Great Seattle Fire, nineteen-year-old Anna Gallagher faces considerable pressure to marry well and soon. But she has no intention of giving up her freedom to keep house. She wants to be the first woman to summit Mount Rainier. Inspired by the trailblazing women of the 19th Century who dared to climb Mount Rainier, <em>In Sight of the Mountain</em> is a charming coming-of-age story, but it also casts the reader's gaze upon issues of colonialism, class, and women's far-too-narrow options.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"Anna's struggle to find her place in a society that wants to constrain her within appropriate gender roles is enhanced by the author's attention to details-of fashion, culture, and even mountain climbing. <strong>An engaging escapade with a feisty female lead.</strong>" - Kirkus Reviews</p><br></p><p>"Searching for purpose and adventure, Anna will win your heart over and then some. Filled with lessons of strength, perseverance, and audacity, <em>In Sight of the Mountain </em>is <strong>a beautifully written story. A must-read </strong>for those who are striving to fulfill their dreams." - Kristi Elizabeth, Seattle Book Review</p><p><br></p><p>"Focusing on themes of the liberation of women, the American class system and effects of colonialism, this <strong>intelligent and heart-warming </strong>novel introduces us to Anna Gallagher at the tender age of nineteen... In an <strong>epic and gripping </strong>work of historical fiction with modern sensibilities, author Jamie McGillen gives you everything you could possibly hope for in this inspiring and dramatic tale... Overall, <em>In Sight of the Mountain</em> is the <strong>perfect historical read for fans of pioneering heroes and tales of triumph over discrimination</strong>." --K.C. Finn, <em>Reader's Favorite</em> (5 Star Review)</p><p><br></p><p>"As a resident of the Pacific Northwest, I found it entertaining to try to picture Seattle as a frontier town and see Mount Rainier without its modern trappings. The story begins with the 1889 Seattle fire (a true event) and <strong>I was immediately hooked</strong>... In all, <em>In Sight of the Mountain</em> is a really great read--compelling, educational, containing complex characters and a well-crafted plot. <strong>Recommended for all readers YA and up who enjoy historical fiction.</strong> <strong>I'd give it more than 5 stars if I could</strong>." --Donna Gielow McFarland, <em>Reader's Favorite </em>(5 Star Review)</p><br>
