Chasing the Sun

November 29, 2010
Warner brings her Blood Rose trilogy (Pieces of Sky; Open Country) to a satisfying conclusion with this sweet 19th-century western. To support her daughter, Kate, and fund her dream of being a professional singer, Daisy Etheridge travels from San Francisco to New Mexico to seek help from the family of the man who left her alone and pregnant. Born wanderer Jack Wilkins gets the surprise of his life when he finds Daisy at the family ranch with the daughter he never knew he had. Jack persuades Daisy to stay, but she worries that he'll leave her and Kate alone again. Despite the slow pace and easily dispatched villains, fans of the series will enjoy another visit to the Wilkins clan, while new readers are sure to admire Warner's vivid descriptions of love and life in the land of enchantment.
