Probably one of the few books by Gilbert Morris that I can't say that I loved or even really enjoyed. It wasn't terrible, but the plot was somewhat meandering as it took about 1/2 way through until Waco and Sabrina even met each other. There was a lot of back story, and honestly a lot of the plot just didn't seem that believable, and it was hard to really like Sabrina as she is a spoiled belle, who always get's her way.

I did really like Silas the kindly old lawman who goes with them. But for me this book was a fun quick read, and I did keep reading, but looking back it's just hard to look back and say that it was a realistic read. There was a lot of action throughout, and I think that though he played a small part, one of my favorite characters was Frank Morgan.

Overall, an interesting read, slow to start, and Gilbert Morris is as always a skilled storyteller, but this is not his best work. I will always be a fan, but this was not a favorite.
