"McClellan's Bluff "
Mary E. Trimble

Sequel To "Rosemount"

In McClellan's Bluff, Leslie Cahill, now seventeen, falls in love with an "older" man, twenty-eight year old Sloan Stroh. She's flattered by the attention of this neighboring cowboy and is swept along by her strong emotions. Sloan dominates Leslie's every moment, albeit in her mind, at least. Her father and brother strongly object to the relationship not only because of the considerable age difference, but because they do not trust Sloan's intentions. Leslie learns Sloan's dark secret, which dates back many years to her mother's death. McClellan's Bluff takes place in Washington's ranch country.

Review excerpts:

In MCCLELLAN'S BLUFF author Mary Trimble proves her gift for confronting the complexities teens face as they learn to define their identities and establish their independence as young adults. Indeed, Trimble truly understands the driving restlessness of teen years and the incredible attraction inherent in the interest of a much older man. She cautiously avoids the intricate legal implications by avoiding intimate relations between Leslie and Sloan, although in most states Leslie is certainly of the age of consent, including Washington where the story is set. Further, Trimble does not in any way back away from the emotional issues a romance between a seventeen year old and a man eleven years older. As Leslie learns, dating a much older man not only arouses the concern of family, but also thrusts her into a relationship with expectations she is not prepared to fulfill. An impressive example of the complications of teen years, MCCLELLAN'S BLUFF comes very highly recommended.
