Synopsis: Emmaline Hatter was a beautiful, brilliant, and rich Wall Street financier in the nineteenth century until the crash of 1893 wiped her out completely. Desperate to recoup her losses, she joins Dr. Larence Digby in his search for the legendary lost city of Cibola, rumored to be rich in gold. Emmaline was used to getting her own way, but Larence was not about to give up control of his expedition to a woman. Somehow, in a world of enchantment, each would have to learn to believe - to trust the other with their lives, their secrets, and their hearts.

Review: I've been reading Kristin Hannah for years, even before she published The Nightingale, which I felt was her best book to date at the time. After reading The Women, I wanted to read some vintage Kristin Hannah. What were her earliest books like?

I enjoyed The Enchantment, her second novel as far as I could tell, and it felt like a novel that was published in the 1990s. She's always been a storyteller, but her style and characters have matured over the years.
