Book Review of 'Texas Forsaken' by Sherry Shindelar

Hello Bookworms!

If you've followed me for any length of time you know that I am a Texas gal.  I was born and raised in the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex and one of the topics I have always loved to study is Texas history.  I always jump at any historical fiction that has to do with Texas, which gives my love of history in a wonderful fictional package as it allows my imagination to go wild while also keeping the historical aspect on the forefront.  I love it!!

The historical fiction I am reviewing today was such an incredibly powerful novel that I am excited to give my thoughts on.  I hope you enjoy my review and, as always, don't forget to scroll down to the bottom of this post and enter the amazing giveaway from JustRead Tours!

The man who destroyed her life may be the only one who can save it. 


Seven years ago, Maggie Logan (Eyes-Like-Sky) lost everything she knew when a raid on a wagon train tore her from her family. As the memories of her past faded to nothing more than vague shadows, Maggie adapted, marrying a Comanche warrior, having a baby, and rebuilding her life. But in one terrible battle, the U.S. Cavalry destroys that life and she is taken captive again, this time by those who call themselves her people. Forced into a world she wants nothing to do with, Eyes-Like-Sky’s only hope at protecting her child may be an engagement to the man who killed her husband. 


Enrolled in West Point to escape his overbearing father, Captain Garret Ramsey finds himself assigned to the Texas frontier, witnessing the brutal Indian War in which both sides commit atrocities. Plagued by guilt for his own role, Garret seeks redemption by taking responsibility for the woman he widowed and her baby.
