Tried and True

Mary is absolutely one of my favorite Christian Historical Fiction authors. Her books often make me laugh and cry and entertain me through out. For some reason this one took me a while to get into, but as of last night I couldn't wait to finish it and I'm not sure how I'll wait for Now and Forever, book #2 in the Wilde Sister trilogy. I'm in desperate desire to read about Mountain Man Indian raised Matt Tucker...

While I'm not a fan if anything surrounding the War Between the States which was anything but civil, the entire context of the story and where these characters came from was interesting. I understand the grouchy father and I'm hoping that perhaps he'll get one look at a grandchild and cave into a loving man, but perhaps not. He's obviously just hurt by circumstances he doesn't know how to deal with.

Not for the first time Mary has introduced complex characters that many other stories would just kill off that are in a place if plausible redemption. And it so encourages me. The physiological elements that she touches on really makes the brain wheels turn.

My review is late, but not for a lack of love.

Thanks to Litfuse.
