Sunny Gale

I have had the pleasure of reading previous novels from Jamie Lisa Forbes and was honored to have the opportunity to read her newest release, Sunny Gale. It was fun going back in time and reading about the rodeo days of the time. I admired Hannah (Sunny Gale) right from the beginning with her bravery to do away with convention and being who she wants to be. I love how she was determined to be true to herself and not what is expected to her. The author's use of vivid details to bring the rodeo to life, made me feel as though I was right there seeing and hearing it all for myself. There were a few scenes that made me tear up while others made me want to laugh out loud. I thought this was an outstanding story of courage and history. I could not put it down until it was completely read in one sitting. Sunny Gale will be getting a very well deserved five plus stars from me. I highly recommend it for fans of historical fiction, as well as, literary novels. I would love to read more upcoming releases to come from author, Jamie Lisa Forbes. I thought her talents really shined through in this book and believe it should not be missed. I received a paperback copy of Jamie Lisa Forbes' Sunny Gale from the publisher, but was not required to write a positive review. This review is one hundred percent my own honest opinion.
