Review: Great Story! Multi Cultural!
Rating: 4 out of 5

Like book one of the trilogy, book two is fast paced, interesting and exciting! This time it's the youngest brother, a mature woman with four orphans and a story taking place at a time when the south was recovering from the civil war. The orphans, one white, one half black, one Mexican and one Comanche lived with the divorced woman and a black ex-slave who was the grandmother of the mulotto boy Needless to say, there were still a lot of injustices and plenty of hatred for all people of color! The only reason I didn't feel as though I could give five stars is because there was certain phrases written as dialogue that simply NEVER would have occurred. Unless of course, the hero were gay, and if he were gay, he'd have been about as welcome as the mulotto boy and his grandmother!Men simply don't "wax poetically" before, during or after sex! A father, nine brothers, two sons, three grandsons and a couple of husbands...believe me, I've listened too all of them and heard a lot. Even my one gay brother, who lives in Texas, says he doesn't know a gay man who would use these flowery, fanciful phrases. The book was good, but not as good as book one.
