My first introduction to [a:Susan Page Davis|255473|Susan Page Davis|http://photo.goodreads.com/authors/1287590451p2/255473.jpg] was in her war historical [b:Crimson Cipher|7685287|Crimson Cipher|Susan Page Davis|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1276206961s/7685287.jpg|10336891], which I absolutely loved beginning to end and this [b:Captive Trail|10805179|Captive Trail (The Texas Trail Series)|Susan Page Davis|http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51c6pyZToQL._SL75_.jpg|15718597] is another one going on the keeper shelf. I was drawn in with the character of Ned and Taabe/Bille Morgan from the first few pages and it was hard to put down the entire time. I would have read it straight through if my toddler, newborn and the flu would have let me!

A story about recovery, a story about new things and life changes, a story about never giving up and relying in Christ. This was a great novel. God was there, and not shoved down your throat. Love was there, but not overtly sappy. Suspense and adventure were there in just the right amounts. I love it.

I'm excited overall about Moody, excuse me, now River North's new fiction series in these Texas Trails with various authors on different generations. I cannot wait to read others in the series.
