Author Jan Sikes uses the 1880s in Texas as the background to her western short story. The hardship that Jack McClean faced after the war kept him moving, unable to find the right place to settle down. When he spots smoke from a fire, he decides to check it out. He discovers an unconscious wounded woman, Savannah Logan.
Jack is not the sort of man to walk away if there is a chance help. Ms. Sikes creates a man who cares for others. He is the hero of this story. Savannah has given up. The following excerpt, early on in this story, made me like this man and root for this woman. Their friendship begins with kindness.
“… Jack was pleased to see her eating the soup. Maybe she had every reason to want to die, but he wouldn’t be the one to help that along. He was done with having a hand in people dying. He remembered the locket in his pocket and fished it out. “Ms. Logan, I found this in the rubble and thought it might mean something to you.” When she touched the locket, she gasped. “Oh, thank you! My Henry gave it to me the day he asked me to marry him.” She opened it. “And look. The picture didn’t burn.” …”
Author Jan Sikes is a delightful storyteller. She uses her knowledge and love of Texas as a backdrop in many of her stories. I recommend this for fans of westerns who want to see into the real lives and hardships of people in that era. Odd however, that stories from that era are so relevant today.

A quick and pleasant read that will leave you feeling good

Jack McClean is burned out with his life of drifting, moving, and fighting, but he hasn't found any where to settle or anyone to create a home with. He is riding near the Brazos River when he sees smoke and, on investigation, discovers a burned down homestead. The only survivor, a woman called Savannah, is in a terrible state and he is compelled to help her.
As Savannah starts to recover and heal, she shares the sad story of the deaths of her husband and children. Although the fire was an accident, she had lost the will to live by the time it occurred.
This is a story of redemption as both Jack and Savannah rediscover reasons for living. There are hints at a potential romance although the book ends before this aspect develops.
This is a quick and pleasant read that will leave you feeling good.

An engaging story, beautifully told
2021年1月27日にアメリカ合衆国でレビュー済みAmazonで購入
Reading this charming story is like sitting by a warm fire, wrapped in a cozy quilt, sipping soothing tea. It begins on a day in the 1880’s, when ex-soldier Jack, roaming the Texas countryside around the Brazos River on his horse Moondancer, happens upon the ruins of a homestead ravaged by fire. He rushes to the aid of the survivor, Savannah, a widow already devastated by the deaths of her husband and two children of “the fever” two years before. She has lost the will to live, believing that she is meant to die in this fire and join the family she grieves. But Jack, a kind and honorable man, determines to save her. He nurses her through the night and takes her into the nearby town to be seen by a doctor and housed at the local boarding house. So begins the healing of both main characters, fates now intertwined. Jack, weary of his wandering, fighting, and aimless ways, is looking for a way to change his life. Savannah must find the strength to work through her grief and make a life for herself. The ending is ambiguous but hopeful, as is life, with the promise of more to come. This author writes beautifully, and I especially enjoyed the way she created the atmosphere and physical setting by the use of colorful verbs—the leather creaked, the wind whipped, the swirling leaves crackled. A lifelong Easterner, I could hear as well as see this landscape. A wonderful story, expertly told. Enthusiastically recommend.

Poignant Western Finding Purpose
2020年12月9日にアメリカ合衆国でレビュー済みAmazonで購入
The first sentence in "Brazos Wind" by Jan Sikes foreshadows the life of a drifter will change in the 1865 western short story: "As sure as the wind can change the course of a river, life has a way of turning a man's direction." Jack McClean is a cowboy with a seedy past that keeps him moving aimlessly. He stumbles upon a burned cabin and discovers a woman, Savannah, with no sign of life. He takes her under his care, and they both find a new purpose in their life.
Author Jan Sikes has written a poignant western with a powerful theme of how two people can find new meaning in their lives due to their chance meeting. Even though Jack McClean is a cowboy with a seamy past, he has a heart of gold as he tries to help Savannah find new meaning in her life after the tragic loss of her family. The dialogue is natural and captures the old west dialect.
"Brazos Wind" is an uplifting story of how two people can help each other go beyond their tragedy and find a new direction in life. Highly recommended.

The Old West.
2020年7月7日にアメリカ合衆国でレビュー済みAmazonで購入
I can only imagine the tough life in the old West. A life full of perils, of the survival of the fittest, where those who survive were marred for life.
Jack McClean is tired of this life of killing and running from being killed. He has only as companion his horse. He wanders and stumbles upon a deserted town and Savannah, a woman at the point of death after losing everything, husband, and children. Here, Jack shows his humanity and helps bring Savannah back to life.
From this point, life changes for both Jack and Savannah. What could these changes bring? This is a cute little story, well written with not too much drama. A little laid back but interesting.
