Book Review: Captive Trail by Susan Page Davis
The Captive Trail is Book #2 of a six-book series about four generations of the Morgan family living, fighting, and thriving amidst a turbulent Texas history spanning from 1845 to 1896. Although a series, each book can be read on its own. And I enjoy all the books' historical aspects intertwined with the fictional Morgan family. Davis is an excellent writer that makes you see the other side of the story as well as the (fictional) emotion involved.
The main character in this book is 20-year-old Taabe and she has been a Comanche captive for so long she has forgotten English, making it hard for her to explain her situation after she ran away from the Comanche and is searching for her white family. Through many lessons by the nuns that found her and are caring for her, and the patience and understanding that stage coach/mail delivery driver Ned offers, Taabe learns of her true identity.
As Ned searches for Taabe's family the Comanche are hot on the trail, determined to bring Taabe back to the tribe making for a great read.
