Galveston: 1900: Indignities, Book One: The Arrival, by N.E. Brown, and S. L. Jenkins, is an exalted, heart-stirring work of fiction. It starts as Anna struggles to reconcile a tragic past and an uncertain future in Galveston, Texas. She has lost her husband, son, and a daughter. She decides it is time to leave Sandgate, England with her oldest daughter, Catherine. Anne attempts to start a new job at the Grand Opera house with disastrous consequences. The scheming begins after David Brooks gets her the job, and decides he has a ruse of his own. He is absolutely loathsome, and will stop at nothing to get what he wants. He could be classified as a modern day Jeffrey Dahmer. Their personal story, the early growth of Galveston, turn of the century crime and investigations, and the brewing hurricane that will wipe out much of Galveston are backdrops to a heartfelt story that includes love, murder, work ethics and values, different social classes and opportunities. The story develops into a tale of lasting friendship, pure love, betrayal, unending suspense, and tragedy.
