A Woman Called Sage

June 15, 2010

In 1875, Sage, a half-Ute woman, experiences devastating loss when four robbers are responsible for the death of her husband and her unborn child. Vowing revenge, she becomes a Colorado bounty hunter. Six years pass before Sage learns of a band of four brothers who have killed a rancher nearby, and she sets out to apprehend them. But the gang kidnap two young boys, and she reluctantly joins forces with Marshall Parker Timmons to rescue them. VERDICT Mills, a Christy Award finalist in 2008 and now nominated for a 2010 Christy Award for Breach of Trust (see p. 56), has penned over 40 novels, several of them appearing on the Christian Booksellers Association Best Seller List. Her fans would make her latest a must-purchase even if it was not so well written. Zondervan is marketing this title as a historical romance, but it is much more than that, blending suspense, romance, and history in a page-turner sure to appeal to fans of Dee Henderson and Tim LaHaye.
