Reviews
Praise for Crown of Dust "There are subliminal echoes of L. Frank Baum in Volmer's mythmaking . . . But Volmer keeps whimsy in check with a terse present-tense voice that invests her pioneers piquant inner lives and a poker-faced lyricism." -- The New York Times Book Review "Any illusions about the glamour of digging for gold are totally shattered by Mary Volmer's Crown of Dust , a grim and carefully researched book about the California gold rush . . . Volmer, in her remarkable first novel, has recreated the reality of an era that few can even visualize now." -- The Washington Times "Volmer's distinctive, beautifully written debut is set in the California gold rush country in the mid-19th century . . . [Her] prose is taut and restrained, moving the story along at a healthy clip as her hardscrabble characters rumble and stumble through their dusty domain. Volmer's found a fat vein of gold in some heavily mined territory." -- Publishers Weekly , Starred Review "Volmer paints a moving portrait of outcasts and nonconformists who build their own community . . . Evocative historical background and thoughtful social observation make this a promising debut." -- Kirkus Reviews, Praise for Reliance, Illinois " Reliance, Illinois has it all--mystery, politics, war; love, death, and art. In finely wrought sentences, Volmer's novel follows such a lively cast of characters, first and foremost her marvelous protagonist Madelyn. Every page is a pleasure." --Karen Joy Fowler, author of We Are All Completely Beside Ourselves "[ Reliance, Illinois ] has smart touches of humor and is well grounded in its place and time. This novel will appeal to readers curious about the lives of women in the post-Civil War Midwest."  --Publishers Weekly "A genuine pleasure. Reliance, Illinois is lively, witty, and evocative, with characters who pop off the page and a protagonist you'll never forget." --Lou Berney, author of  The Long and Far Away Gone "Mary Volmer's  Reliance, Illinois grabbed me from the first page. Staggeringly beautiful prose, a poignant story, the whip smart heroine Maddy who I rooted for all the way. Volmer brings a universal theme of the reliance--all of us who search for it--to be found in ourselves. Do yourself a favor, clear your schedule and drink in Volmer's radiant Reliance, Illinois ." --Cara Black,  New York Times  bestselling author of  Murder on the Quai "Mary Volmer's lush prose draws the reader into an intricately detailed world."  --Lois Leveen, author of  Juliet's Nurse  and  The Secrets of Mary Bowser "In Reliance, Illinois , Mary Volmer creates a world at once old and new. She evokes an entire time and place through the perfect application of richly enlivening historical detail. In her depiction of the varied and often risky recourses her characters adopt in order to live well or with dignity--or at all, Volmer tells a compelling, timeless story about exigency and survival, especially for women. A deftly written page-turner that addresses universal questions with open-heartedness and verve, Reliance, Illinois offers a captivating read about an important juncture in American history." --Naomi J. Williams, author of Landfalls "A lovely and moving novel--it is about language and writing, but more profoundly it is about creation: art, friendship, birth itself. Beautiful." --Max Byrd, author of The Paris Deadline Praise for  Crown of Dust "There are subliminal echoes of L. Frank Baum in Volmer's mythmaking . . . But Volmer keeps whimsy in check with a terse present-tense voice that invests her pioneers piquant inner lives and a poker-faced lyricism." -- The New York Times Book Review "Any illusions about the glamour of digging for gold are totally shattered by Mary Volmer's Crown of Dust , a grim and carefully researched book about the California gold rush . . .

Synopsis
" Reliance, Illinois has it all--mystery, politics, war; love, death, and art. Every page is a pleasure." --Karen Joy Fowler, author of We Are All Completely Beside Ourselves Illinois, 1874: With a birthmark covering half her face, thirteen-year-old Madelyn Branch is accustomed to cold and awkward greetings, and expects no less in the struggling town of Reliance. After all, her mother, Rebecca, was careful not to mention a daughter in the Matrimonial Times ad that brought them there. When Rebecca weds, Madelyn poses as her mother's younger sister and earns a grudging berth in her new house. Deeply injured by her mother's deceptions, Madelyn soon leaves to enter the service of Miss Rose Werner, prodigal daughter of the town's founder. Miss Rose is a suffragette and purveyor of black market birth control who sees in Madelyn a project and potential acolyte. Madelyn, though, wants to feel beautiful and loved, and she pins her hopes on William Stark, a young photographer and haunted Civil War veteran., Illinois, 1874: 13-year-old Madelyn Branch, ashamed of the birthmark covering half her body, arrives in the town of Reliance, Illinois. Feeling rejected by her mother, Madelyn abandons her and goes into the service of Rose Werner, a suffragette and purveyor of black market birth control who sees in Madelyn a project and potential acolyte. While precocious, foolishly romantic Madelyn cares little for women's rights, Miss Rose pulls her into a world of stagecraft, politics and family intrigue.
