Tenderly

This is the 4th in a series "FAMILY BLESSINGS" - I shall get my pet peeve out of the way first - I can't abide these females who can't keep their pants on. The story plot was very well written and kind of expected [when you think about it]. This is Ben Toomey's story [he was introduced in the previous book - which I can't find a listing for - MOTHER TO BE]a very quiet, kind of shy young patrolman under Lieutenant Lucas Singer and Captain Johnny Becente. He is on the track of a professor Edna Trevoy who is very interested in proving how the Anasazi People kept tract of the seasons. Ben remembered accompanyied his father to an arroyo where he stumbled onto some markings and showed them to Edna. She is back with Who-follows-like-a-Lamb and one thing leads to another, with the professor's daughter having a falling out with her mother. And Ben is caught in the middle. Lucas is determined to save Ben from the heartbreak that he had suffered at the hands of a rich, white girl. Before he met and married Sloan Baron. Ben is soon out of harmony with his life and then he introduced Eden Trevoy to his grandmother, Sadie and his sister. That is another part of the plot. Eden learns that she is half-Navajo - oh boy, the plot thickens! Poor little rich girl. One shock leads to another before she finally learns to deal with her life. Yet she still had to crawl into bed with Ben. What a loose skirt. Great writer - herione's with trashy morals - wonderful story plots - great characters - wonderful series.

I loved this book; a pleasant suprise. This is a continuation of a series of novels involving the Navajo community. It is heart warming, joyful, sad, and a pocketful of "miracles". It gave my day a happy beginning; hope all will enjoy. Good reading!
