Three remarkable women find themselves caught between two worlds on the American frontier. A captive of the Comanche must choose between escaping to white society or her growing feelings for a rising war chief in 1850s Texas. A Georgia judge’s daughter flees an unwanted betrothal during the War of 1812, only to be captured by Creek warriors but protected by a mysterious brave. And in 1754, an English lady traveling the Great Wagon Road to become a music teacher discovers her carefully planned future may not survive her attraction to a protective frontiersman.
From quaint civilized towns to treacherous mountain passes and wilderness villages, three couples navigate cultural divisions, overcome past wounds, and face deadly dangers to discover that love knows no boundaries. But as war clouds gather and ancient tribal alliances shift, will their newfound relationships survive the coming storm? Or will the clash of worlds tear them apart?
Three unforgettable romances prove that God's greatest blessings often come disguised as our greatest challenges, and that true love can bridge any divide.
Shindelar's story, Wichita Path Sacrifice, was emotional, entertaining, and educational. The attraction between Eyes Blue Sky and Dancing Eagle appeared hopeless, but the author convinced me that blessings are often disguised. This was a wonderful novella to read during the celebration of our 250th birthday as a nation!

MY THOUGHTS.....
This novella collection includes Wichita Path Serenade by Sherry Shindelar; Ofuskee Trail Surrender by Denise Farnsworth; and Wagon Road Serenade by Susan F. Craft. I already knew Denise Weimer Farnsworth's talent in writing historical fiction, but Sherry Shindelar's contribution to this novella collection has earned her a new fan! As I read the riveting story of a young woman captured by Comanche Indians, I was torn between dismay for her captivity, admiration for her bravery, and pity that she might have to forsake the love of a lifetime. How was it even possible for a white woman in 1850s Texas to experience such deep feelings for a visiting war chief? Would she dare to cross a line that was considered taboo at that time?
