Fictionalized novelization of true facts about A Colorado mystery. See this site for information about the author and her books: D.A.Brockett Author Home Page
From the web site: "... It was Christmas break, 1971, and Barbara Grandbouche’s three boys were driving her crazy. She sent them outside for the day to explore the surrounding hills and caves overlooking the Gunnison River. Nightfall came, and so did three excited boys. Their news? They’d discovered a baby buried in a cave! Her only identification was a small metal plate inscribed, “Our Darling.” When no one claimed her remains after five months, the boys collected enough money for “Our Darling” to be reburied in the local cemetery. Her identity remained a mystery until Grand Junction author, D. A. Brockett, determined to tell the baby’s story. Her research took her to Grand Junction during the Roaring Twenties. There, she discovered a pioneer town torn between the desire for progress and the fear of change."

Autographed on the title page and a note card tucked inside, hand written by the author! What fun!
August 16, 2016: It seems to be taking me a long time to get through this little book ... have to keep putting it aside to do other things. Real Life interrupts reading.
