Book Reviews of To Find You Again (Berkley Sensation)

Author McKade has written a wonderful love story set in the days following the civil war when the army's mission had turned to exterminating the Indian populations.
Emma Hartwell had been rescued, after a near drowning, and taken to live with a Lakota tribe. Seven years later she is “rescued” by the army who massacre many of her tribe. Wounded she is returned to her family but is scorned by them and white society in general for having chosen to live rather than kill herself. Unknown to all is the secret that Emma carries. Soon she leaves to return to her Lakota family but is trailed by Ridge Madoc, a former army scout, who was hired to find her.
The development of the respect and love for Ridge and Emma, even after he discovers the reason for her return to the Lakota is heartwarming. Emma is feisty and I loved the humor that exists between her and Ridge who is also hiding a secret.

There are several unexpected twists and turns which keep the reader spellbound. I highly recommend this book.

very good

This author always comes through with a great emotional story.

It was written well enough that I FELT it when she had to give up her baby!!

You'll enjoy

This book was excellent.
The heroine was just like I like: strong, brave, determined, a loving spirit ~ without guile, deceit, feminine whiles or sappy love scenes,(which I hate).
The hero was strong, brave, open and also a true loving spirit. Again, no duplicity, stupid misunderstandings, denial of feelings ~ all that rot writers use that disgust me.
That said,I happily recommend this book to all historical western romance lovers.

I really enjoyed this book.

This was a very good book. It had just enough intrigue to keep it going.

"For seven harvests, Emma Hartwell was the adopted daughter of the Elk tribe. It was to them that she entrusted her dearest treasure, a secret she can hardly bear. Now, Emma sets out to search for the piece of herself she left behind--and unexpectedly finds the love of a man who makes her whole. "

15-year-old Emma fell into a raging river and was rescued by an Indian, taken to live in their village. Seven years later she is "rescued" by the army and taken back home to her family. Her family have a hard time dealing with what she went through. The townspeople think she should have killed herself before living with the savages. Not being able to handle how she is being treated by her family, she begins a journey back to the tribe to retrieve something very important that she left behind. A tracker, Ridge, is hired by her family to find her. When he does, she talks him into accompanying her to find her son.

This is a well written western romance. It was nice to see how the family dealt with the ordeal. My rating: 4.5 Stars.
