News of the World by Paulette Jiles

4.0

Atmospheric with believable characters, this story of an unlikely duo is heartwarming and compelling. Set in Texas following the Civil War, this is a western that's so much more. Spunky Johanna and authentic Captain Kidd weave together their lives into a leisurely paced coming of age story that is inspiring and heartwarming. This is so much more than a western and has something for everyone.
