Customer Reviews

Hard to imagine this was her first book. Wonderful characters great ongoing plots, everything you expect from a Susan Wiggs book.

Excellent book for 1987 original publication

I collect authors so for those who have given this book a less than stellar review please take into consideration that the book was originally published in 1987. Why do I collect authors - because I like to see how they have grown as a writer and a person over the years. For 1978, and one of Susan Wigg's earlier efforts this was an excellent book. But it cannot compete with her newest books, especially the Lakeshore Chronicles. Why, because Susan has grown as a writer and a person, and the industry norms have changed a bit. At the time "Texas Wildflower" was written it was very new to have a young woman become something other than a simpering damsel in distress, today we expect gritty, tough heroines who make us believe we can do anything. For those of you who choose this book to become acquainted with Susan Wiggs you should really check out the Lakeside Chronicles. But if you want to read Susan Wiggs' early work by all means read this one and her other great books from the 80'. What is fun is to start with the earliest books she wrote then come forward until now and experience her growth as a writer and person as I have.

Author's early work shows promise

This is worth reading, especially if you are a fan of this author. It is interesting to see that the first thing published was very sexy and riddled with the conflicts of two passionate people who grow and change. Finally, with new maturity, they have come of age together. It says there has been some editing. Since I never read the original, i don't know what was cut but it reads just fine. Anyway a fun read that whet my appetite for more of Wiggs work.
