For some reason I always forget how much I like Robert Broomall's books, so I bypassed this one 10 times in my daily look at newly published westerns. To make up for  my stupidity and reinforce my memory I decided to write a review.Link and Pru are an unlikely pair who meet in a thunderstorm when Link pushes his way into her wagon where she is stranded and alone, waiting for her husband and 14 year-old daughter to return with their runaway stock. Link breaks the news that her husband is dead and there's no sign of her daughter Hope.This is the beginning of their long and difficult journey to find and rescue Hope. I was on the edge of my seat through many scenes in the book and barely kept myself from skipping to the end to find out if they made it out alive. All the characters were very real to me and I traveled along with them sharing in their fear and pain from hunger, thirst, blisters and chafed skin to arrow and gunshot wounds.I highly recommend this to anyone that loves action and adventure books. The fact that it's a western is a plus for me but shouldn't keep you from enjoying it even if you are not a fan of the genre.
