After I got a couple of chapters into this book I decided it wasn't anything like the Westerns I enjoy and thought about tossing it. Thank God I didn't.

As I got further into the story it began to take on a life I hadn't expected. Finally, after picking it up and putting it down over a few days, I got to the last third of the book and had to finish it in one sitting. Because I needed to know how it came out.

As I said, it isn't like the Westerns I enjoy, it's much better!
