THE CAPTIVE HEART is the second book in the The Daughters of Caleb Bender series.
Readers will have to read the first book in the series Paradise Valley Mexico .
I have to say this book was a tear-jerker. And it kept me up
all night since I had to know what
happened. This book—series, so far—takes you to the edge of your emotions.
Characters you care for, and characters you love to hate. A griping storyline. Five stars, but read it with a box of tissues
nearby. $6.00. 350 pages.

I do believe I am going to have to get this series.It sounds so very ,very good. And that's it's inspired by a true story makes it even more interesting to to me.
Thank you for the review. As a rule I don't enjoy historical fiction quite as much, but am sure this is one I'll read. Blessings, Susan Fryman susanngarrylee@yahoo.com
I absolutely love this series and can not wait to get the 3rd installment. I agree with you, a real tear jerker, and keeps you on the seat of your pants. Too hard to put down.
