The last installment of Murray Pura's The Painted Sky certainly did not disappoint. As the widows and the preacher brothers fight one last time to save their lives and their land, the tension is palpable. Will they live? Will they be slaughtered by Apaches? And what will become of the widows we've grown so fond of in this series, all unique personalities with common dreams and desires. And what of the David brothers? They fought hard for the widows, the people, their own lives. And they've done it with dignity and with God's grace and truth.Though I was sad to see this series come to an end, I was a very satisfied reader. The last chapter is superbly written, just as the rest of the series has been. Hats off to ye, Murray Pura, for bringing to life the widows and brothers who drew us in from the very first sentence, then captured our hearts. We fought with them, grieved with them, loved with them, and rejoiced with them! Wonderfully crafted series!!
