If ever there was a stubborn character, Glory Ann Day would
have to be the most perfect example. She is in parts
cantankerous
and other parts loving, especially to her family. Glory is, in
short, a very hard working young woman with the weight of
the world on her shoulders and little time to mind her
words.
Which is definitely the case in all her interactions with Luke
McClain, a stranger in town who seems determined to
interfere, (Glory's words not mine) in the Day family's
life.
The Day family has fallen on hard times made all the
worse by the jailing of their father. Mother Day has fallen
into some mental abyss with lucid moments a
rarity. The three sisters Glory, Hope, and Patience are just
about managing although it seems in and of itself a sort
of miracle.
Luke is just what this family truly needs, but Glory worries
about the cost. Clearly, Luke is carrying around guilt and
worry of his own. Glory is concerned that he might be
involved in some of the problems occurring in her small
town. Robberies and hangings seem to have heightened since
Luke arrived. Yet, all that seems contrary to the man.
The Day family faces each new dilemma with love and
strength and hope. THE COWBOY WHO CAME CALLING is a story
that delves deeply into the value of those virtues. Glory
needs to learn some of these lessons and, perhaps, Luke is
just the guy to teach her. At the same time, life could take
a decidedly better turn for both Glory and Luke. Dare we
dream.
THE COWBOY WHO CAME CALLING is the second book in the Texas
Heroes series written by Linda Broday. Texas
Heroes is
a trilogy of books that are being reissued. Linda Broday
has quickly become one of my favorite authors in this
genre. Her books resonate with honesty and love. I haven't
met a Linda Broday book yet that I just didn't love from
the first page to the last. So, if you missed this series
the first time around, this is your chance to read some of
Linda Broday's best.
A Former Texas Ranger on a mission A determined woman slowly losing her
sight A love neither could have
predicted ...and a danger that may
steal their happy ending before it can even
begin.
Glory Day may be losing her vision,
but that doesn't mean she'll ever stop fighting. Determined
to provide for her struggling family, she confronts an
outlaw with a price on his head. But when a mysterious
cowboy gets between her and her target, Glory accidentally
shoots him instead. Flustered, she has no option
but to take the handsome stranger home to treat his
wounds.
Former Texas Ranger Luke McClain didn't plan
to fall in love, but there's no denying the strength of
Glory's will or the sweetness of her heart. But Glory's been
burned before, and Luke will have to reach into the depths
of his own battered soul to convince her to take a
chance...
Oh Wow! Thanks for such a great review, Sandra. I'm thrilled that you liked Luke and Glory. The story was deeply personal to me and I wrote it during a scary time in my life when I lost my vision for a while. Thankfully, doctors were able to restore mine. Maybe they could've Glory's too if doctors were as advanced as we have. But I was able to transfer all my fears and insecurities to Glory.
Only these first two of the series are reissues. Book #3 - To Catch a Texas Star - is the story I always wanted to write but didn't get a chance until Sourcebooks made me a deal. I'm so happy to have it out. It features Marley Rose (the baby in Knight on the Texas Plains) as a young woman and she learns the secret her father has kept all these years. I think it's a very powerful story.
Thanks again for the touching review. (Linda Broday 5:06pm March 13, 2018)
If you missed any of Linda Broday's books, you are really not reading the best historical books written. Linda has a way of getting all her heroes to step into your heart. This review of The Cowboy Who Came Calling, shows you the awesome writer she is. You must add it to your TBR list. (Lois Imel 10:04pm March 13, 2018)
