Maggie Porter returns home to her family's ranch after some
time in San Francisco unwinding with a cousin after the death of her mother.
However, the ranch is not the same as she remembered it. Her father isn't himself and the cowboys are about to strike due to changing working conditions.
Maggie soon learns that her father is not only dying but in debt and out of
money. The men strike at the worst time, right when they need to drive the
cattle to market.
Alex Porter has worked at Rocking P ranch for seven years
and is now the loyal foreman. However, his boss starts cutting away at their
compensation, and without a raise many of the cowboys are starting to struggle.
Alex does not agree that the men should strike as the most crucial work of the
year is ahead of him, but the others leave him with no choice. When the boss’s
daughter returns home and takes matters into her own hands he feels responsible
to keep an eye on her as much as he can to make sure she succeeds.
Cowgirl Trail was an enjoyable fifth installment in the
Texas Trails series. It tells of two young people who haven’t admitted that
they are in love with each other, and who seem to be pulled apart because of
misunderstandings and secrets. Of course, it becomes obvious that everyone's
lives might be easier if they were all honest with each other, but the
characters are as human as we are and make mistakes. It is a beautiful story of
learning forgiveness and honesty, and as with the rest of the books in the
series I had a hard time putting it down. Cowgirl Trail stands alone quite well
and is a great read but it does tie into the other books in the series as well.
