Becky Haynes went off to college a God-fearing Christian but returns home to Barton Creek, OK, a new and liberated woman. Her change in attitude confuses her family and her longtime friend Rob. Enter a new man in town. Geoff Kensington is handsome and charming, and he has his sights set on Becky. Soon, strange things begin happening around town. Can Rob convince Becky that Geoff is to blame? Can he bring her back to her faith and those who truly care for her? VERDICT Readers who enjoyed the first two novels in this historical Western series (Becoming Lucy; Morning for Dove) will want this, but Rogers is unlikely to earn new fans with her stilted prose and corny dialog. Readers looking for CF historical romances would be better off with the novels of Robin Lee Hatcher or Tracie Peterson.
