Jonathan's Cross by M.L. Gardner is a one of a kind historical fiction that one doesn't see every day. Set to what I believe is 1929 when the big Wall Street crash happened.

They take a job on the docks that they are not prepared for. Meanwhile Jonathan's enemy, Victor, is doing anything to make Jonathan's life a living hell. Will Jonathan and his friends survive their new life? Will they find a way out? And just what does Victor have up his sleeve? I have been a huge fan of historical fiction sin

The characters are well rounded and they jump at you throughout the story.When she is remembering the mountain itself you can picture it in your mind very easily.

For instance, she made Steve struggle with his doing his job and protecting his
