- Miantae Metcalf McConnell, born and raised in California, spent childhood summers in Montana on her grandparent's farm. It was there her heart remained, in the wild open where she rode horseback, fished for trout and spent endless hours exploring a diverse natural landscape.
A self-taught visual artist, graphic designer, copywriter, photographer and business owner, in 2001 Miantae decided to focus on another creative interest: writing. She continues to write full-time and returned to claim Montana as her home of residence (not unlike her Montana homesteader ancestors) and lives near the Rocky Mountains today.

If you enjoy historical fiction, you won't be able to stop reading this American West story full of drama and authentic characters. If you gravitate towards social justice issues and enjoy dramas with contrary points of view, look no further.

harfijah | 3 andere besprekingen | Oct 2, 2016 | Absolutely the best historical fiction book that I've read since James Michener's novels. But this book is a true story. I was in tears when I finished this remarkable book about Mary Fields, African American woman. Kudos to the author, Miantae M McConnell for meticulously doing the solid research and for bringing Mary White Crow Fields into our lives and awareness. I very highly recommend this book, especially if you're at all interested in Montana history and the African American treasure who helped the women of Montana gain the vote. Just an amazing real woman, black, white or yellow. I'm eagerly looking forward to another book from Miantae McConnell!… (meer)
