Gather No Moss

About the Book

The time frame of this novel, GATHER NO MOSS, is set in the late 1800's, and early to mid 1900's. This saga is based on true facts, interwoven with fictional dialogue. The main character, Olive Janvier, was not quite the 'Black Sheep' of the family, though he did not conform to the Janvier expectations, rarely committing himself to close relationships. His main ambition was to set foot in all 48 states; this endeavor was successful to a point, considering the knowledge he attained through his travels. This saga contains a myriad of true historical events, current to the era, and should appeal to history buffs, those interested in romance and travel, also to readers who enjoy taking a look back to see how things were in another era.
