Texas Forsaken

Texas Forsaken holds a tale mixed with heartache and hope.

Sherry brings the Texas landscape to life during a time that's less written about in fiction. I found it fascinating to read about the soldier posted in Texas on the brink of the Civil War and the issues involved with Comanche Indians. Sherry did an excellent job of portraying both sides of the conflict as having their own grievances and issues with the opposite side.

Garret made a relatable and likeable character, despite the complicated circumstances that begin his and Eyes-Like Sky's relationship. And Eyes-Like-Sky–well, her plight is heartbreaking. The spiritual growth they both experience comes through pain, but flows in a believable way.

There were a couple relationship scenes that pushed a bit too far for my comfort, which was my main issue with the book. Otherwise, Texas Forsaken was a story that held the perfect level of deep emotion, historical background, and relatable characters.
