Rating 3.75 :)
What is a young woman to do? Hannah is responsible for her small brother and sister, her father is missing/probably dead and a man shows up at their ranch saying he is the rightful owner. Throw in trouble with local Indians, an unwanted, not to mention pushy and ugly suitor and a unwavering faith in God and you have an exciting story in this first in the Land of the Lone Star series.
This book did not get the best reviews on Amazon, but I had found it at the library book sale and decided to give it a try. I'm glad I did! While it was not the best book ever or anything, I found it very true to Ms. Peterson's style. Slow and steady with a few swoon worthy scenes mixed it. There was excitment and characters that I loved and hated. I may even check out book two at the library.
One other thing that I enjoy about her books is that I'm always motivated to do more at home. The author highlights the women's' abilities to cook well for their men and to make their homes look welcoming. These are not my strong suits and I enjoy some encouragement in that area. This fact may be one of the reasons I love western and pioneer historical fiction. What amazing women.
