I really liked this book but it's not for the faint of heart. This book has many, very dark subject matters and doesn't dance around them. Very up front about such things as brutal rape and the cruelty and brutality that both Native Americans and white men committed towards each other, the reader is given a sometimes grim picture of life in the old west. But of course in the way that only Catherine Anderson can manage, in my opinion, the love story between Hunter and Loretta will make you sigh and overshadow all the sad parts. This is the first in a 4 book series. Second is "Comanche Heart", third "Indigo Blue", and fourth "Comanche Magic". I've read them all and enjoyed spending time with this family.

First book in Anderson's Comanche Series. Very Good.
Ms Anderson is a new author to me but she may become a new favorite. I am overwhelmed by the powerful story that she tells. This is the first book in a 4 book series.
Set in Texas in the late 1850's and early 1860's, when the white man was trying to destroy all Comanche and vice versa, a young white girl and a Comanche warrior strive to learn trust and to love, all the while fulfilling a great Comanche legend.
This book does contain graphic descriptions of the horrors heaped on each group by the other but without those descriptions, the full scope of how much mistrust and misunderstanding needed to be overcome by Hunter and Loretta could not be fully appreciated.
This book kept me spellbound and it was hard to put down long enough to do necessary things like sleep.
