Bandit BrideBy Helen GrayDescription:
Having lost her parents, and in danger of losing her ranch to an unscrupulous opportunist, Jackie (Jacinda) Laughton is surviving in Dodge City's heyday, but not without a load of guilt and estrangement from God and the church. In desperation she and her best friend have resorted to banditry. Donning disguises, they are the popular "Whip and Blade" who hold up the lender's stagecoach runs, keeping the money they need and distributing the rest to more of the man's victims. No one suspects they are young women. Book Takeaway:A heroine struggles with doing wrong for all the "right" reasons and being confronted by a hero who is a handsome lawman creates a dilemma that only God can solve. Why the author wrote this book:I had written several contemporary books and wanted to see if I could write a historical. It was a great learning process. |
