Three books, following the hard lives of three friends in the Texas area in the late 1890ies. Three good Christian romances; I do not know enough about the history to really say if the author - as she assures the reader - has done extensive research, but from where I stand, some occurrences or actions by the protagonists seemed to be a little far-fetched to me.

But as I said, I do not know enough about this history or this area. The characters were very likeable, the narration style fluid and keeping the plot going nicely along. Not a cowboy versus Native Indian story with lots and lots of bloodshed, not nail-biting tension as in an adventure story perhaps, but nice and heartwarming stories of how to survive in a hard country and in hard times, and still stay in your faith.

These books were very well written and the characters were well developed. The characters were interwoven throughout all 3 books, but they could also be read as stand alone. The faith, hard work and perseverance that it took to live, love and trust thru the time period of these books shows forth. There is enough suspense written in to keep you intrigued as well. The narration was done very well. I received a free copy of this from the author and I am voluntarily leaving this review.

Great story writing. I throughly enjoyed reading this book series. Zillia, then Soonie, and finally Darla. There adventures felt true to life. There was some grammar problems, she needed better proof readers. These are clean stories, with love that didn't get explicit. I was happy about that. Anyone reading these stories will love them.

Courageous spirit The characters in all three stories were well developed and lent an air of anticipation to make one feel compelled to continue reading. I have read the excerpt for book four and will definitely purchase it so I can lean more about these courageous women.

Excellent. Books I really enjoyed these stories a lot. These stories involve the same girls as they grow up.one a white girl, one native American. So many prejudices. Well written, great descriptions, dialog, not too preachy.
