This book is a fantastic twist on the downtrodden heroine and the hero who rescues her.It is 1873 and the the American civil war is over.The location is Banjo, a small village in Texas.Tabor Nolan is not a prince but a doctor, war hero and talented carpenter. He instantly falls in love with the heroine at the beginning of the book. Her brother has just been hanged and she is an outcast to the people in her village. Tabor helps her bury her brother. He goes away but cannot forget Sarah. He comes back a year later and decides to stay.I could not predict what would happen- but yet everything made sense given the characters history. There is humour and suspense in his fast paced novel.The era is portrayed well, e.g the food, clothes, transport, education system and what small rural towns were like at the time.
