I recommend it to everyone, from history buffs to adventure lovers to romance readers." author Shirley Bahlmann"Marshaling adept storytelling with an intimate understanding of her subject matter, Marsha Ward delivers loyal fans an exciting continuation of her Owen Family series, while new readers will rate Trail of Storms a satisfying stand-alone read that will send them back for more. Prepare to be transported to another time . . . another place. Ward's grasp of western dialect and culture is like a set of old leather reins in her skilled hands, driving her story's authenticity. The book opens with Jesse Bingham and her sisters on a tense Virginia day, under the brutal occupation of Yankee forces. High drama begins on page three and you're already invested up to your elbows." author Laurie Lewis"OMGI really really liked this book. I liked the first two books in the series too, but this book seemed to flow beautifully and connect with me. I was right there, submerged in 1867 and could even smell the hay in the barn!!! This book starts with a BANG...(I was shocked and extremely impressed!) not to mention throughly entertained ALL the way through. It was intense, touching and heartwarming. So, Great Job Marsha Ward! And to everyone who hasn't read this book: GO GET IT!" K. Darrach, Reader Review
