About:
Meg Pero has been assisting her photographer father since she was big enough to carry his equipment, so when he dies she is determined to take over his profession--starting with fulfilling the contract he signed to serve on an Army survey of the North Rim of the Grand Canyon in 1871. What she doesn't realize is that the leader of the expedition is none other than the man she once refused to marry.
Captain Ben Coleridge would like nothing more than to leave without the woman who broke his heart, but he refuses to wait even one more day to get started. This survey is a screen for another, more personal mission, one he cannot share with any member of his team.
As dangers arise from all sides, including within the survey party, Meg and Ben must work together to stay alive, fulfill their duties, and, just maybe, rekindle a love that neither had completely left behind.

My Thoughts:
A Distance too Grand is a historical novel that takes the main character through the lens of a camera on an adventure where her life is about getting the perfect shot, one that calls her to hang over the edge of the largest Canyon. While this book is adventurous, historical and a page turner, it also is charming with love stories abounding of sweetness and enduring hardships. Through Meg, we are able to see the side of adventure through the lens of her camera and the beauty of the country. The characters will keep your attention and so will the plot this book. I really enjoyed this Historical Fiction, more than I had anticipated. I recommend this book! You will enjoy it.
