Series: 
 
Chapters: 20

Pages: 191

Genre: Biography

Rating: 4 stars


An awesome  account of not letting an accident that took use of an arm get you down. That if you try hard and not give up you can continue to do the things you did before the accident. I  enjoyed  the book more than I thought I would.

Review of Tired and True

Tried and True (Wild at Heart) by Mary Connealy,http://www.amazon.com/dp/0764211781/ref=cm_sw_r_pi_dp_VxVitb12771GAW85Title: Tired and True

Author: Mary Connealy

Series: Wild at Heart book 1
 
Chapters: 24

Pages: 317

Genre: Christian Historical Fiction

Rating: 4.5 stars

Kylie Wilde and her sisters Shannon and Bailey fought in the Civil war by posing as boys. They had plans to homestead as man so that they could cut the time down from five to three years. However that doesn’t work the way Kylie had planned. For one reason she likes dressing as a woman, and has let her hair grow out.  Aaron Materson the land agent sees through her act.

I love Mary Connealy’s books. They are my go to books for Christian Westerns. Like her previous books there is the right balance of faith, romance, and action throughout the whole book.  Kylie is the right balance of a strong heroine who is also feminine.  It was nice to read a fictional novel about women homesteaders posing as man, which could have actually happened.  This book was a fairly quick read and I enjoyed it. I cannot wait for the next two books in the series.
