Yearning for adventure, Priscilla convinces her parents to travel from Boston to the Texas Hill Country to attend a family wedding. Tragedy strikes on the arduous and dangerous journey when bandits kill her parents and injure Priscilla. Alone in a new land, she is determined to build a life on her own, while ranch foreman Zachary Webster does not believe he is good enough for the city-born woman who is always on his mind. VERDICT Taking place in 1850s Ladreville, TX, this second entry in Cabot's new trilogy (after "Paper Roses") is a quaint historical romance with Christian undertones and is sure to please Lori Wick fans.
