Wounded Heart

By Colleen Hall

Description:

WOUNDED HEART Blurb
Orphaned Della Hughes longs for adventure and for freedom from the strict Boston society of 1870 America. When her uncle, General Clint Logan, uses his fortune to purchase property in Colorado and set up a horse ranch selling remounts to the western army, Della decides she must accompany him and his family to the West. Along the journey, Della encounters more adventure than she bargained for.
Rustlers, Indians, and rattlesnakes add danger to the trek. A persistent cavalry captain who believes Della would make him the perfect wife and a Cheyenne chieftain’s son who tells her she’s brought sunshine to his heart complicate her life. And the handsome army scout who ramrods their wagon train guards a secret from his past that makes him believe he’s not worthy of her. Della must meet the challenges of the West and convince the man of her heart that love is worth risking everything to gain.

Book Takeaway:

Both Della and Shane must learn to trust each other despite the censure of society and to learn to trust the Lord more fully.

Why the author wrote this book:

I wanted to continue Clint and Coral Logan's story in this sequel, although Della and Shane take center stage. Also, I love history and am especially fascinated with the settlement of the West and the army's war with the Plains Tribes.
