I've read a few of Susan Page Davis's books in the past and
liked her writing style.. When I had the
opportunity to read this one, I was excited to read it.
Johnny is on the run.
He hasn't done anything wrong, but when he's suspected of murder, his
friend convinces him to make a run for it.
They decide to head for Texas and the ranch Johnny's brother owns. When they arrive and find his brother dead,
they have to form some new plans. People
in town mistake Johnny for his brother and one little lie leads to
another. Circumstances get even more
complicated when Johnny finds out his brother has paid for a woman to come be
his bride.
Sally is excited to start her new life with the man she's
come to know through his letters. She
ends up being puzzled by the behavior of her new husband and wonders what's
wrong with her that he keeps his distance.
Add to that her dislike of his ranch hand, and Sally isn't sure she's
made the right decision. With the huge
secret separating them, it's hard to see how you'll get a happy ending out of
this one!
This book was a nice read and told a valuable lesson about
how one little lie can snowball and not be so small anymore. I liked both Johnny and Sally's characters,
especially Sally's determination to get to the truth. Good Book!
* I received a copy of this book from Barbour Publishing
through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
