About this listen

Six short stories that give us glimpses into the lives of Luke, Nora, and the other characters from Backwards to Oregon.

  • The Blue Hour: When her mother dies, twelve-year-old Lucinda Hamilton decides to start a new life—as a boy.
  • Grasping at Straws: No one knows that Tess Swenson, madam of a brothel, also owns a livery stable and a number of other businesses. On one of her secret inspections, she makes a surprising discovery.
  • A Rooster's Job: The Hamiltons hoped to build a home in the idyllic Willamette Valley with mild winters, but now they're snowed in and their rooster isn't doing such a great job either.
  • The Art of Pretending: Tess finds out that someone is stealing her money. She suspects Frankie, a woman who reminds her of Luke. But nothing is as it seems.
  • The Christmas Oak: Luke sets out to bring home a Christmas tree-but she finds something else.
  • Swept Away: The greatest flood in the history of Oregon sweeps away houses, barns, and animals in the Willamette Valley. At the same time, fourteen-year-old Amy is swept away by her feelings for her best friend.

Contains mature themes.

More great stories from the wild west cowgirl series. The short stories are great to listen to and have me hooked all over again on these amazing storylines. Excellent narration and I definitely recommend this and the whole collection. ❤

LOVE THIS. ❤

This author never disapoints. I highly recommend this book and author. The stories are great and little snippets of in between the bokks in this series, which is my favourite by the way.

Love it

Its great to catch up with old friends and get more backstory , learn a bit about what their characters and also what new adventures happened between Backwards to Oregon and Hidden truths. Great writing and great narration

The mix of tenderness in an often harsh environment came over brilliantly

I wish there were more from this series as the characters are so lovely. If you’re taking requests Jae, I’d like a whole book with Tess and Frankie as the leads but still including the Hamiltons.

I now have to go back and listen to the series again from the beginning (for the 3rd time) as, like with so many of Jae’s books, I’m left with a warm, cosy feeling.

Fabulous but too short
