MY REVIEW:<\/strong><\/p>\n

It is not often that I read a book written by a male author whose primary character is female. Train to Laramie is just such a novel and I must say it was well done. I had no problem believing this story of Tess and her experiences. <\/p>\n

And Tess definitely experienced quite a few things within these pages, many of which were unexpected. On the run (with her mother’s blessing) to escape her often abusive stepfather and his evil intentions towards her, Tess accidentally hopped on the wrong train in her haste. At the end of the line, Tess found herself in Laramie, a railroad camp town comprised of mostly railroad workers and the businesses that catered to them. This rough community was run by a unscrupulous sheriff and his step-brothers. Rescued by one of the only honorable men in town, Tess must find a way to pay for her journey to Chicago as originally planned.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Train to Laramie<\/em> was an exciting tale laced with plenty of action, danger, and unexpected twists, all interwoven into a strong message of faith in God. I liked the strength portrayed by Tess as well as her unyielding spiritual stand. Brett was the epitome of the perfect hero with his integrity, protective nature, and his own uncompromising faith. Just when it seemed as if everything was going well for Brett and his partner, something new would happen that made me wonder how things would turn out for them.<\/p>\n

A scene or two were fairly graphic but more implied than overly descriptive. Train to Laramie <\/em>was a great read with the important lesson that evil may have its day but payday always comes. I enjoyed this book and those who love westerns as I do should also enjoy it.\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I voluntarily reviewed a copy of this book provided by Celebrate Lit. A favorable review was not required. All views expressed are my own.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

The American West has always fascinated me with ruggedly beautiful landscapes and the indomitable spirit of the pioneers.
