A very enjoyable Dorothy Garlock book once again! I picked this off the shelf to pass the time one day whiel waiting for mu child to finish his library art class. I was very happy to have gotten so lucky! Usually I research each and every book I read prior, but this was just another Garlock and Garlock = gold.
I thought I had read almost all of her books from the old west. I will have to research more of her books.
The book starts out in mid action, a girl being thrown from her house, whipped by locals who had killed her disfigured father caling her a witch or a prostitute. Luckily a wagon rolling by helped her to escape, unfortunately the man who saved her and his snooty daughter are not much better than a mob. Atleast the son is kind show more to her and her dog.
I loved this story very much. show less
