RACHEL'S EYES was my first exposure to Ellen O'Connell's work, and having enjoyed this well-written short story, I'm very interested in delving into her full-length novels, especially EYES OF SILVER, EYES OF GOLD, the full-length romance about the main characters in RACHEL'S EYES (Cord and Anne Bennett).  This short story runs 16 pages (without front-and end-matter).The characterization was *beautiful*....and I had such respect for the quality and decent man Cord Bennett is (what a hero!) and such compassion for Rachel Moss and her children-- and their plight.  As the short story unfolds, I gained such insight to the predicament so many women found themselves in (19th century), and cheered the very clever solution as I watched it unfold.  Kudos to the author!Sensuality Level: PGLanguage: PGRecommended to fans of historical romance, particularly American West.
