TUCKER by Emily March

Every so often, I read a book and put off writing the review. Life gets in the way and then before you know it is time for the review. So I found myself reading TUCKER - ETERNITY SPRINGS: THE MCBRIDES OF TEXAS by Emily March for the second time. I was immediately reminded of some noteworthy moments that had taken residence in my memory. I remembered how much I had enjoyed TUCKER so I decided to sit back and revisit some old friends.
