Mitchell's Valley by Amy Gallow (Given 3 stars by Romantic Times
and four roses from Romance Reader at Heart)
In Andrew Mitchell, Cynthia Sheldon discovers a man who would defy every obstacle,
even death, to save his beloved Mitchell’s Valley. When he rescues her from a blizzard and
leaves before she can thank him, she pursues this gallant enigma across the mountains, to the
Mitchell ranch itself. In the process, she finds a horseman as good as any Texas legend, a
mining engineer with a lust for gold, and a message from across the bridge of time. To find
love, she must unravel Andrew Mitchell’s mystery, face death and overcome her terror of
loneliness.
Mitchell's Valley was Americanized from Mitchell's Run, my fist published
romance, at the request of my Australian publisher. I jumped at the chance to
apply a five year learning curve to a story that had been successful in Australia,
China and the U.K., shifting the locale from the Bogong High Plains in Victoria
to the Sierra Nevada Mountains and Sacramento. It made a great yarn even better.
Mitchell's Valley is now on sale from Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Powell's Books,
Borders and Walden Books and here's what Amazon has to say;
"Set in the high plains of the Sierras, Mitchell's Valley will have great appeal to
lovers of well written modern romance. Gallow has quite a literary style and a good
grasp of the suspenseful romantic novel. There is a great deal of substance to her
stories and a broad appeal to readers of all ages. A splendid blending of modern
heroism with a mystery from the past, a heartfelt and intriguing tale. "

When Cynthia Sheldon discovers that Andrew Mitchell, the man who saved her life
during a snowstorm, went missing in 1886, she sets out to find answers. Her
journey takes her to Mitchell's Valley, the ancestral homestead of her rescuer.
It is there that she meets Drew Mitchell. The striking similarities in both
appearance and mannerisms between Drew and her memories of Andrew are quite
evident. And Cynthia is surprised to find that she shares an attraction and yearning
for both men. Was the savior with whom she shared such an intimate connection
truly a ghost or merely a hoax?
This is eloquently written and almost poetic in style, with great attention to detail.
But readers must suspend too much disbelief to make the book totally credible.
Gallow redeems this beautiful tale of the search for truth and the longing for love
with her uniquely elegant approach, reminiscent of a classic love story. (May, 219

Here's what Romance Reader at Heart had to say:
RRAH's THOUGHTS AND PONDERINGS:
If you’re in the mood for a modern romance, look no further! Amy Gallow’s
MITCHELL’S VALLEY is just the book for you. With its interesting characters
and beautiful settings, you’re sure to enjoy this book.
Cynthia Sheldon has just been rescued from near death by the handsome Andrew
Mitchell. After a passionate kiss goodbye, he gives her a trinket and asks that she
never forget him. Once Cynthia is finally recovered, she realizes that the trinket
Andrew gave her was a golden nugget! Intrigued by this man and the memory of his
kiss, Cynthia goes on a quest to find him to thank him again for his generosity, and
perhaps reenact their parting kiss. But what she finds instead is a mystery that she
is committed to solve, no matter what.
Drew Mitchell is a descendent from the legendary Andrew Mitchell, for whom his
ranch is named. Drew is one hunky cowboy! When Cynthia finds Drew, she swears
that he was the one who rescued her. But Drew denies it, and claims instead that it
was his namesake, the deceased Andrew Mitchell who saved her instead. Could it
be? A ghost who saved her and kissed her? Although Cynthia is willing to play
along with Drew’s story for a little bit, she can’t help but think that maybe he’s
telling the truth. A ghost did save her.
MITCHELL’S VALLEY sizzles with the romance between Cynthia and Drew! I
loved that Ms. Gallow added the mystery of Andrew Mitchell as the driving force
to bring together Cynthia and Drew. She keeps you guessing as to whether it was
really Andrew Mitchell’s ghost who rescued Cynthia.
I am pleasantly surprised at how much I enjoyed reading MITCHELL’S VALLEY.
I breezed through the book and I was satisfied with how it ended. All in all, a very
good read!
