Thanksgiving Books & Blessings Collection GONE TO TEXAS by Caryl McAdoo

Book one in the collection. I was easily hooked at the beginning of the book. Told in first person switching characters as it goes, a great group of Christian people. What I like in a wagon train story, it makes you feel like you're on the journey with them going from Tennessee to Texas. They'd been swindled on their collective land and farm in Tennessee so they headed to Texas for the free land there that you could get for homesteading it. Interesting journey and it's nice that you get to see them arrive and get settled as things fall into place.

I received this book free from the author, publisher and NetGalley book review bloggers program. I was not required to write a positive review. The opinions I have expressed are my own.

A Promise Engraved by Liz Tolsma

A story of people who were at the Alamo and before that, blends with a present-day couple, tied together through a piece of jewelry. Very interesting. Brings to life what it might have been like back then, some of the difficulties they had to live through. Santa Anna had invited people to come to Texas, then Mexico, for free land. Later he turned on them and became a dictator and people rebelled. Immigration back then and present day are touched upon, the humanity of it. Excellent read.
