A story of Texas; a story set in the turmoil of warring Indians, wild west conditions, a country recovering from the war and a fairly large cast of people. The main focus in this story is on widow, Carissa Lowe and her young daughter Gloria and Tyler Atherton who lost so much the through certain Indians and the war. Tyler though a good man is battling hate towards the Indians and struggling with injustice from the war. Carissa's battle is to let no man too close after her disastrous marriage that ended badly. That's the starting point but there is plenty of drama as their story unfolds and the stories of family and friends get added to it.
I liked this book and considered it a pleasant read. I do have to say that a few times it did kind of drag a little but I also think that it might have been necessary to give the reader a sense of the depth of the struggles. Of course God and scripture was included in this story and some may not like that but it isn't every other word out of their mouth so its not a theology lesson. I liked it but for someone who doesn't, do what most people normally do - skim over that part; there's still plenty more to the story. I feel bad for even suggesting that but I still believe you could enjoy the stories.
I received this book FREE from Bethany House for an honest review.
