Good! Ms. Franklin can bring her
characters, the land, the historical time to life for her readers. Excellent writing. The story is about a 26 year old rancher Jud
Morgan in 1845 in Victoria, Texas whom was prejudice against all the immigrants
flooding to Texas since he had lost his father during the fight for Texas
independence. At this time, the Germans
specifically were migrating to New Braunfels, Texas via Victoria. Like the Fleischer family. The Fleischers lost a child after the sea
voyage, lost their wagon to the Texas clay mud, lost another child to the
cholera epidemic, lost their ranch and barns they had worked so hard to obtain
to arson, their oldest daughter lost her fiancé to another woman he met on the
sea voyage and yet, through all these hardships, their faith in God prevailed
and provided for them. They worked hard
and grew to be an integral part of the Texas-born and German population in Victoria. The story is one of perseverance that
deserves your time to read.
