In the history of the American frontier, John Sutter (1803-1880) looms large. A Swiss expatriate who attempted to create a personal empire in California's Sacramento Valley, he founded New Helvetia, a cosmopolitan settlement whose economy depended on Indian slaves and free laborers. New Helvetia drew overland immigrants to California in the 1840s and then - after gold was discovered by Sutter's employees - a flood of fortune seekers. Sutter was poised to become one of the richest men in the West, but rapacious settlers and his own poor business sense sent his dreams crashing.Albert L. Hurtado has written the definitive biography of Sutter, mining a wealth of sources to create the first fully documented account of the man and his times. John Sutter explores Sutter's life in the broader context of America's rush for westward expansion while plumbing the inner dynamics of this erstwhile empire-builder.Sutter was a quintessential outsider driven by anxiety over status - a man of talent, vision, and heroic ambitions who nevertheless became the victim of his own inadequacies as a businessman and his inability to adjust to a rapidly changing frontier. Sutter was full of contradictions. While building a reputation as a humanitarian friend of destitute immigrants, he callously exploited Indians. Nevertheless, this penniless dreamer became one of the most important men in California and a major player in the American conquest of the West.

The Sutter Angels is a fast paced page turner that would have you on edge as you read along. With sex scenes so graphic that the reader will be momentarily pulled away to get in sexual existence and gunplay that would have you ducking bullets as they fly off the pages.The story begins on a dim lit Brooklyn, NY block with the Angels in a stolen mini-van, lying in wait for Ace. Ace was a local self-proclaimed gangster recently paroled from prison. He pistol whipped and robbed an Angel associate and now reparations were due.However, the night's events would later lead to Vicky, one of the Angels being manhandled by two cops while in custody. Needless to say, the Sutter Angels, who are committed sisters, forever fashioning their motto: Death by any means necessary to all those who dared to oppose them, were relentless in their quest for N.Y.P.D blood and their actions cemented their notoriety in the streets of Brooklyn.

Hun ønsker å bevise at hun har like store evner som en mann, men får som kvinne ikke utdanne seg til lege. Men når hjertet hennes blir knust, begir hun seg til Washington DC for å pleie borgerkrigens sårede. Med hjelp og oppmuntring fra to kirurger, som begge faller for henne, forfølger Mary sin drøm om å bli kirurg og redde liv – tross prisen hun selv og de hun elsker må betale, og tross de rystende omstendighetene hun snart må gå i møte.Romanen er et lysende portrett av en uforglemmelig heltinne, en skildring av traumene som følger i krigens kjølvann og en medrivende fortelling om en kvinne som er fast bestemt på å nå sitt mål.”Mary Sutter er en tilfredsstillende kompleks karakter; en stormfull blanding av rørende sårbarhet og modig gjenstridighet.”Marie Claire"fengslende lesning.”Publishers Weekly"Spennende. Språket er vakkert, og historien holder deg fanget."Herald Tribune”Denne romanheltinnen er virkelig heltemodig.”The Times”En rikholdig roman. Fra en rekke ulike perspektiv tilbyr romanen leseren et bilde av en tid fylt av medisinsk motgang, kriser og muligheter. (…) De finstemte detaljene hever denne romanen over den florlette formen for borgerkrigsfiksjon. Fokuset på den tids ofte fryktelige medisin og kvinnene som praktiserte den mot alle odds, er fengslende lesning.”Publishers Weekly”Oliveiras yndefulle, sikre portrett av en modig kvinne lyser opp i hennes fremragende roman. Synsvinkelen skifter mellom Mary, familiemedlemmene hennes, de to legene som elsker henne, og virkelige skikkelser som Lincoln og Dorothea Dix, noe som skaper et intimt, men likevel vidtfavnende portrett av krigens kaos, udugelighet og hjerteskjærende sorg.
