This is one of the best books that I have read in a long time. It made me laugh, cry, and the way love won out in the end was wonderful. -- Beverly Willeford, Bev's Books (Highlands, TX) Joe Roark's three daughters have just learned that the only way they will inherit their father's ranch is to drive a herd of 1,200 longhorns to Dodge City, Kansas and sell them there. If they fail, his wife Lola inherits everything. Terrified, but knowing they will be penniless without their inheritance, the girls decide to drive the cattle. What follows is an unparalleled adventure filled with the raw wildness of nature, the force of sheer determination, and an unexpected love that will change one sister's life...

Man, this started out really great. I loved Freddy, Alex, & Les. Dal was a totally swoony hero. But about halfway, the author threw in 2 side romances that were SO eye-rolly & unnecessary. And, the narrator favored the confederacy in a way that started to make me uncomfortable. It‘s a historical set in Texas so I‘m not expecting a lot of nuance — but there are other authors who have grappled much better with the legacy of the civil war. ★★★☆☆.
