Colorado: One Hundred and One Nights

Lester Clark, his wife Allison, and their twin daughters are adventurous folk. Between his imagination and gift of storytelling and her fortitude and organization, they have what it takes to leave England, move to America, and start a successful tailoring business. But when they get the bug to explore the Wild West of Mexican Colorado, they need every skill and resource they can muster to survive — let alone succeed.
