A Tender Hope

Thea Michener is looking for new horizons.  Her husband has been murdered, her son was stillborn and where she is just doesn't feel like home anymore.  Since she does have a marketable skill, she can go where she likes, but Cimarron Creek is where she knows she can make her new start. 

Jackson Guthrie is in Cimarron Creek to find the Gang of Four who have a reputation of robbing and killing. He thinks that Thea may have information about the Gang, since her husband is suspected of being part of the Gang. Thea really doesn't know anything about the Gang, or even whether her late husband was part of the Gang at all.

Amanda Cabot writes beautiful historical fiction and the quality of her writing is worth delving into.  A Tender Heart is one of those novels worth taking the time to read. Her settings are imaginative as well as believable. Her characters play off each other and make the dialog and plot move along at a readable pace.  This is a five star book, with two thumbs up, and a midwife to help you deliver.
