A sweet but tough tale of the West

Such a rich and detailed story of the old West. You see the Captain’s devotion to keeping things a certain way, and you slowly learn where that came from. You learn his background, his childhood, his Civil War service, his marriage, his early Texas life, his family, his business. All of which informs his decision to help the girl. And that’s the real story the book tells. Everything I said before that was scattered throughout the book, inserted so adroitly that the book remains short and focused. It’s a beautifully drawn tale.

Beautiful writing, vivid story

My review cannot do justice to Paulette Giles' writing. She truly writes with a unique sound and her story is captivating. Great characters that you will want to follow across the Southwest of 1870's.

An engaging story

An easy read which was a selection for my small book club, we all rated it a 5. I enjoy stories about children and the world in their perspective. I couldn't put it down.
