If you like historical fiction and read it often, you're going to start to notice that Angel In The Saloon crams a multitude of commonly seen themes into one story.You have multi-generational love triangles, an orphan, a long journey into the unknown, a tested best-friendship, a handicap, an accident, a shooting, a physical assault, a form of kidnap/imprisonment, several examples of the perception of good vs evil within a society, a unexpected visitor, miscommunication, secrets, and of course, struggles with faith and redemption.  Each of these events is fairly quickly resolved, one after the other, and the story has the requisite happy ending.This all happens in approximately 6 months time.  It would almost seem ridiculous if the story was not so enjoyable!The only thing is does not have is a "bad guy".  Most books like this have a primary villain who eventually gets what is coming to him/her.  There isn't such a character in this book, which makes it unusual for the genera.
