Leaving her home in Chicago, Elizabeth Mayfield traveled west to work for an elderly couple in Denver. The Stagecoach she was traveling on was attacked by Cheyenne dog soldiers and she was taken captive. She was prepared to die as she faced the warriors taunting her. "The white woman will not die," said the chief with authority. Elizabeth was stunned, her instincts to live were pulling at her heart with hope but reality was clouding that hope. Through her bravery she earned the right to live and later met an even greater challenge to earn respect among the Cheyenne people. Through her faith and trust in the Lord Jesus Christ, Elizabeth faced each day and each new trial. She learned the ways of the Cheyenne people fast but longed for the young mountain man, the chief spoke of, to come soon and return her to a white settlement. The longer Elizabeth stayed at the Cheyenne village,
the more she felt at home. Would she be able to leave?

Captive Hearts Series Book 1: Listen for the Call
I usually am not a fan of Christian romance novels but gave this one a try because it won a RITA (romance award.) I was so glad I did, I loved it! It was great and I really enjoyed it.
The reason I'm not inclined to like Christian romance is that most of the time the author gets more focused on the message then developing characters or telling a story. Happily this was not the case in this book.
McKenna is a 23 year old woman with no living parents who moves to Colorado with her 14 year old brother after his arson charge to have a fresh start. She arrives only to find her cousin and her cousin's husband dead. Now not only is she in charge of a wayward brother but now has custody of her cousin's five year old daughter.
A US Marshall comes to town, but he's burning out. He joined up seven years ago when his wife and child died but lately he's been feeling rootless and wants a change in life. He respects McKenna and likes her right away. She has her hands full and is not looking for romance.
It's not an especially original story but it's well done and I was invested in the fates of the characters. The pages turned very quickly which is my benchmark for a good book.
In a lot of Christian fiction the characters are either too good to be true or messed up wretches in need of salvation. Neither is the case here and I think the book is the better for it.
