Leaving Texas by Caryl McAdoo Book Review and Giveaway
About the Book
I know the plans I have for you, plans for good, not evil.
Cruel is the illusion of love. Robbed of her true love by his mean-spirited mother, Charity is given no choice but to leave Texas and follow her Prince Charming to the Golden State. Instantly attracted to her, Morgan agrees to help the young beauty on her journey, but where all other ladies paled after first blush, his initial fascination only deepens with every turn of the wagon’s wheels. Though obvious to all those around the two—how perfect Morgan and Charity were for each other—will the hard-headed, strong-willed daughter of Liberty O’Neal Harrell ever realize it?

MY BOOK REVIEW
If you
are looking for a heartwarming and blast from the past story than “Leaving
Texas” is your book. We are taken into
Charity’s journal traveling from Texas to San Francisco in hopes of marrying
the man of her dreams. Her sister Autumn doesn’t like her dream man. Caryl
McAdoo created a detailed story of what traveling by wagon train was like. She
did her research because I see the scenery and feel the struggles of the
characters. Morgan Lowell, helped make the trip easier for Charity and her
friend Arletta. We learn Morgan has spent many years traveling around country. He was leery wanting to help Charity travel
from Texas to California. They spent time getting to each other and both of
them started trusting each other. They run into some Native Americans on their
way.
I received a complimentary copy of the book from Celebrate Lit. This book review is my own opinion.

More from Caryl
As my second family saga series—Cross Timbers Romance—grows, and the children of Book One GONE TO TEXAS come into adulthood, I fall more in love with these characters. This story—Book Four in the series, LEAVIN’ TEXAS, takes readers on another wagon train that historically left right about the same time of year as its early spring setting from Red River County, heading for California in 1850.LEAVIN’ TEXAS is Charity O’Neal’s story wherein she determines to follow her Prince Charming, Eberhart ‘Hart’ de Vecchi, to California to start her new life with him there—no matter the naysayers or rough trails ahead. But as so often is the case, our plans and those God has in place for us don’t always correlate.
Many times, we’ve prayed about it—what we want Him to do, how we expect everything to turn out—and feel certain we are in His will. I personally thank God for praying mothers, friends, and grandmothers who perhaps see us heading in a wrong direction and beseech Him to guide us in His way, not our own.
My life has benefitted from such praying women.
So does Charity O’Neal’s.
I imagine yours has as well!
I love the well-known verse in Jeremiah! “For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.” Jeremiah 29:11 Especially the ‘expected end’ part. I find great comfort in knowing His thoughts—or plans—are of peace and not evil, and that He intends to give us an expected end!
I hope you enjoy LEAVING TEXAS and will take time to review it!
BLESSINGS!

ReplyDeleteThis book sounds like a wonderful read.
ReplyDeleteHey Stephanie! I am so thrilled that you enjoyed LEAVING TEXAS so much! I appreciate you choosing to read my stories for my Celebrate Lit Blog Tour.
ReplyDeleteMy husband and I actually drove along the course of the wagon train Charity went on. It truly did leave from Red River County that year (I think it was that year, but the location is where we live.)
Thank you for having me on your Life of Determination Blog! <3 Hugs and Blessings!
