Kathleen Morgan has done it again! Her new book, A Love Forbidden, is a delightful, fascinating fictional account of life and times in the late 1870's. At that time, women were only to be wives and mothers, and were not to have a career or an opinion which did not match that of their father or husband. Indians were considered unwashed savages and not to be allowed off their reservations. Shiloh Wainwright is different. She has not only prepared for a career as a teacher, but her desire is to teach the children of the Ute Indian tribes. She wants to help the Indians and even to make friends with those who were, at best, not considered to be on the same social level as she was. As a child, Shiloh had, as a friend, a young Indian man named Jesse, who worked as a field hand for her father. Jesse was an embittered young man, spurning God and the white man's ways. How Jesse and Shiloh overcome their differences to become friends and learn to forgive - not only each other, but those who would wish to harm them - is a well told story. Descriptive language, true-to-life situations, and a talent for painting word pictures so vivid that you can see, smell, and even taste as if you were there, make this a book you will not want to miss. A Love Forbidden is available May 2012 at your favorite bookseller - from Revell, a division of Baker Publishing Group. Disclosure: I received one paperback copy of A Love Forbidden from Baker Publisher Group in exchange for my honest review here for you. No other compensation was provided.
