Wande Fleischer is a German immigrant who has just come to Texas with her family to begin a new life. But instead of the “milk and honey” they were promised and the marriage Wande had planned, her family meets tragedy and disappointment.
The Morgan family has had their fair share of family tragedy
as well, and Jud Morgan is apprehensive of all the recent immigration from
Germany. When the paths of the two families cross, mixed emotions ensue. Jud
does not trust Germans, but he comes to care for the Fleischers. Soon, more
heartbreak hits both families, and as they help each other overcome
difficulties, love blossoms.
I enjoyed this book. I recently read the final book in the Texas
Trails series, and although they all stand alone as separate stories, I decided
I did want to go back and read the others. The series covers stories of
different members of the Morgan family. Lone Star Trail is a fairly easy read,
and although parts of it were a little predictable, I enjoyed the journey. The
characters were well developed, and I found the romance intertwined in the
story to be just enough without being sappy. The book in written from a Christian
perspective, and the author manages to make that apparent without looking like
she is trying to throw occasional statements that qualify it as “Christian
fiction.” Overall, Lone Star Trail is well written and enjoyable, and I would
recommend it to those who enjoy fiction.
I received this book for free from the publisher through the Moody Publishers blogger review program. I was not required to write a positive review and the opinions and thoughts I have expressed are my own. I am disclosing this in accordance with the Federal Trade Commission’s 16 CFR, Part 255
