I've read several of Shelley's Amish books (written under the name Shelley Shepard Gray) but my favorite genre is Christian historical fiction. The Heart of a Hero series, Shelley's historical series, begins with A Texan's Promise. The book is set after the Civil War, and almost every chracter in the book has been scarred by the war in some way. The setting changes from Texas to Colorado to Nebraska. I liked Vanessa and Clayton, though I found them both immature at the start of the book. Their growth throughout the story, and their growing closer as a couple, was great to see. I'm looking forward to the next book in the series.

With thanks to NetGalley and Abingdon Press for my review copy.
