The trip Sally’s making to visit with Mandy, her sister, is taking much too long.

BNAmazonGRCBDAuthor

She’s traveling with a group who just can’t fathom why it’s more important for her to get where she’s going than to see the wonders God has created. Yet, in their defense – that is the purpose of their trip – if not hers.

Things quickly go from bad to worse when they’re struck by thieves. To Sally’s misfortune she falls off the cliff and down the face of the canyon – hitting every tree branch on her way down. The artist sketching at the bottom can’t see how anyone could have lived from that fall yet, here, this girls appears to be alive – barely. If only he’d become a doctor at his father’s prompting instead of the artist he is. It’s too late for regrets, though, and barely enough time to get her to safety and medical attention.

The back-shotting thieves can’t believe their luck! They’ve really made out on this team of travelers. Now, all they need to do is find the cowpoke who toppled off the cliff, grab his snazzy Winchester, and kick this town for a while.

My Thoughts

You know, I think I’ve decided to stop reading Mary Connealy books. I pick it up and then am so enthralled that real life stops & I’m part of the book. I can’t eat, I can’t sleep, forget the laundry, the kids can make their own dinner…. UGH! Well, maybe I’ll quit later — on to the next in the series!!

** Many of the books I review are Advance Review Copies. These books are loaned to me for my review. I am in no way compensated for my time nor am I asked to give anything but my honest review.

I love to read! But I don't always think the synopsis on the backs of books do them justice. I do, however, believe all books should come with an intended rating - or at least a steam FYI. So, I'm taking upon myself to educate all -- christian & secular readers, alike -- on the books behind the synopsis and the possible things you may not want your YA reader to see. Enjoy!
