First Book of a Two-Part Series

This book starts out with the Harte's heading to Texas after the Civil War. Courtney's father is a doctor and he wants to set up shop in Waco, Texas. Along the way, their wagon is attacked by a band of Comanches, who kill the men. Courtney and her stepmother are saved by a blue-eyed Indian.

Years later, Courtney sees a newspaper with a photograph of a man she is sure is her father -- living in Waco. She decides to hire someone to take her through Indian Territory to get to her father. She chooses Chandos, a gunslinger of few words.

There's lots of action and drama along the trip. There's great dialogue between the characters -- Courtney learns to be more bold as she travels beside Chandos. However, Chandos is the strong, silent type. Chandos' story isn't revealed until the last 50 pages or so.

It was okay for me. Not her best, not her worst. I will read more from her though. Thank you.
