The man who destroyed her life may be the only one who can save it.

Seven years ago, Maggie Logan (Eyes-Like-Sky) lost everything she knew when a raid on a wagon train tore her from her family. As the memories of her past faded to nothing more than vague shadows, Maggie adapted, marrying a Comanche warrior, having a baby, and rebuilding her life. But in one terrible battle, the U.S. Cavalry destroys that life and she is taken captive again, this time by those who call themselves her people. Forced into a world she wants nothing to do with, Eyes-Like-Sky’s only hope of protecting her child may be an engagement to the man who killed her husband.

Enrolled in West Point to escape his overbearing father, Captain Garret Ramsey finds himself assigned to the Texas frontier, witnessing the brutal Indian War in which both sides commit atrocities. Plagued by guilt for his own role, Garret seeks redemption by taking responsibility for the woman he widowed and her baby.

Though he is determined to do whatever it takes to protect them, is he willing to risk everything for a woman whose heart is buried in a grave?

My Thoughts on Texas Forsaken

Texas Forsaken is a wonderful novel about a woman held captive with the Indians who then is rescued by the Calvary during the Civil War.  One woman.  Once living among the white people, held captive by the Commanche.  She assimilates into their culture.  She becomes one of them.  And she marries plus has a child as one of them.  It’s all she remembers.  It’s all she knows. 

And then. 

She is taken captive by the Calvary who come in to save the day during the Civil War.  They kill her husband.  They expect her to be grateful and want to return to their way of life.  But it’s not what she’s known.  And she has a child to think about.  Plus there’s that small fact that they killed her husband hanging around too. 

What if marrying the man who killed her husband will give her child a future?  Can she do that?

This was such a great book to read.  Lots of history.  Lots of emotions.  It read quickly.  I loved the characters.  They really seemed to reach out and grab me and make me feel their emotions.  I’d gladly read this one again.  Grab a copy today and let me know what you think of it.
