About The Priceless Gift She Brings: An Alternative History by Toliver Dare
The Norsemen came and saw it, but they didn’t conquer it, and yet it’s called Vinlandia. It’s the home of our fearless Kimileah, who never knew America even existed . . . not until she meets the man from Nowhere in 1980. She’s only thirteen.
The story begins in that other history, hidden from our eyes, near Stone Mountain, Georgia, where young Hathaway has just descended the walking trail from the top of the rocky dome and doesn’t have a clue as to where he could be, or why he is there. Kimileah takes him to her town where the Cherokee live and the man from Nowhere begins his transformation to become an honorable citizen of her nation.
Kimileah is fascinated by Hathaway who has told her about America, and who realizes he was brought to her history to invent a flying machine. She follows him to the coast where he’s from in his former history, near Chesapeake Bay. Soon Kimileah, also known as Golden Feather, becomes the first female aviator of her world.
Meanwhile, her country is threatened by invading Cutthroats whose unsinkable ironclad is cruising along the coast of Vinlandia sinking every ship in its way. In a daring and risky maneuver, she sinks the ironclad ship and becomes the heroine of her country. Then, betrayed by a companion pilot, she narrowly escapes from human sacrifice in the land of the Aztecs.
Although she enjoys fame and fortune, her destiny is yet to be fulfilled. She comes to our history at the age of eighteen, bringing Hathaway’s journal to assure his family he’s alive and well somewhere if anyone can believe the impossible. She brings love, laughter, and song, but most of all she brings a priceless gift that will change the course of our own history. Fortunately for us, she falls in love with Adrian, and decides not to go back to her own history. We hope she stays forever. Climb into Golden Feather’s moccasins and fall in love with a girl who will surely put a smile on your face!
