A Distance Too Grand

This book has a lot to say for itself: the art of photography, the Grand Canyon, the requisite bad guy, a missing person, an expedition and leader, a camp cook and surveyor, and a few extra characters. 

Meg Pero is a photographer trying to fulfill her late father's contracts, including one with the army to go and photograph the Grand Canyon, while Ben Coleridge is trying to figure out where to put a road to go down to the bottom of the Canyon.  At one time, Meg and Ben were dating while Ben was attending West Point.  Ben's mother discouraged the relationship because Meg was not in the same social strata as Ben's family.  Ben has not come to terms with Meg's turning his proposal down.  She won't tell him the real reason, but she just says it is best for him.  They end up working pretty closely together and for Ben, that's another chance to win Meg's heart.  Of course, there is the requisite bad guy who tries to sabotage the expedition, sets a fire to the camp, and tries to kill everyone in the expedition.

Regina Scott writes a character-rich novel with incredible settings and scenery.  She paints glorious pictures in the reader's mind with her words. This is my first novel by her, but it sure won't be my last. Her talent for writing is incomparable. Five Star Book, with two thumbs up, and a pre-prepared glass slide ready for your best photographic shot.
