A little bit about what you'll find reviewed here

A little bit about what you'll find reviewed on this blog: I believe the best books involve characters you wish you could read more about long after the book is finished. Recently, I've been searching for hidden gems from the past. I read mostly fiction, and I'm a bit of a prude. I don't normally enjoy books with sex or excessive language.

Who I am:
I raised two wonderful girls, and I'm super proud of them. I enjoy reading (of course), sewing, cross stitching, photography and writing. I live in the high desert portion of Washington (which I didn't know existed until my husband and I decided to move here) and have really enjoyed my time out here. I am excited to see what God has next in store for my life!

Long Trail Home (Texas Trail #3) - Vickie McDonough

This is the third book in this series.  It is also my first time reading this particular author. For more information on this series, see my post on Book 1, Lone Star Trail.

In this installment, we read the story of Riley Morgan.  He's coming back from the war between the states and is coming home to horrible news.  His family has been killed by Indians and he finds out that his fiance has decided not to wait for him and has married someone else.

Annie had a rough childhood.  Her father taught her to be a pickpocket and it was the way they lived.  When Annie is abandoned by her father, she ends up at a school for the blind. Unfortunately, she isn't able to live there unless she is blind, so the lies begin.  After years of making everyone believe that she is blind, her world is turned upside down when Laura, the owner of the school, hires Riley to do some work around the school.

As Annie tries to hide her sight from Riley, she comes to find out that he is a good man and someone she could fall in love with.  The secret between them could cause everything they have to come crashing down.

As with the other two I have read in the series, I enjoyed this book.  The characters were pleasant and I liked them.  This book, as well as the others I have read, are easily read in order or alone.  Little details here and there link the books together, but there is nothing there that merits reading them in order.  The only complaint I have is I really did not like the cover for some reason.

I'm planning on continuing watching out for the rest of the series.  Recently I was also able to pick up the fifth, Cowgirl Trail.  I'll keep my eyes open for the other two.
