Raina needs a
brand-new life, anywhere but here…
A slave to her
brother-in-law’s brutal bidding in a seedy Louisiana saloon, Raina Vernay is at
the end of her rope. She’s not sure how much longer she can endure and empty
life – and avoid her vile brother-in-law’s advances and her sister’s indifference
to it all.
When a mysterious
stranger, Tyler Kincaid, arrives in town from Texas, headed for Ft. Smith and
Judge Parker by way of riverboats, Raina’s mind starts churning a plan. She
longs to find the father she’s never known, and if an old letter he wrote to
her mother is any indication, he just might be in Indian Territory. But she
needs a hero to help her escape and has her sights set on Ty.
Then Ty lands
himself in jail. Could this wanted man be any use to her? And yet, what other
choice does she have?
This is book
three in a series but you don’t have to read the earlier books first. The only
connection between them is Judge Parker and his marshals trying to keep law and
order.
This is a fantastic Christian western
novel!
Life is all about making choices. So is
this book. The title is “Raina’s Choice” yet all the way through the book Raina
(and a few other characters) have multiple choices to make. A lot of these
choices can have a huge impact on the rest of their lives. I really loved the
way that Gilbert Morris intertwined the characters lives as they were each
processing the decisions that they had to make. There were a couple of
characters that had strong relationships with God when they first showed up and
they were trying to help the others with their decisions by pointing them to
God for help. It was very encouraging and uplifting.
The characters were easy to connect with
and I found myself trying to help a lot of them sort things out and make the
right choices. I love reading a book where I can feel for multiple characters.
The plot was wonderfully developed and
presented. It held my attention throughout the book.
