Women's Fiction Historical

Corin Dunbar – banished to live with her aunt Jessie, an obsessively religious spinster who runs a failing cattle ranch in Utah – hates her new life until Hollywood transforms the rural backwater of Paradox into a playground for glamorous stars. Seduced by the glitz, Corin finds work with the studios, but after a brush with the casting couch, channels her growing ambition into saving the ranch—the jewel of the Dunbar family for three generations.

When Corin falls for Ark Stevenson – a charismatic stranger drawn to Paradox by his fascination with the movies that are filmed there – her future seems bright. That’s not the outlook facing Yiska Begay, a Navajo on the run from prison.

These three different lives unexpectedly collide as each of them seeks their own kind of freedom: Corin is determined to break free from the restrictions imposed on her by society; Ark yearns for a spiritual freedom after he suffers a horrific accident; and Yiska is desperate to regain the physical freedom he unjustly lost.

In a gripping climax, Corin is faced with an agonizing decision: should she win them the freedoms they crave; and if so, how will she bear the heartbreaking cost?

Told mainly by Corin—now a middle-aged woman still haunted by her dilemma—In A Town Called Paradox is a compelling read that redefines the meaning of love as it asks the question: If each of us has a life story, then who determines how it unfolds, and how it should end?
