Ussher Family #3
The Deliverance of Lily Ussher
Texas, 1870s. It's a miracle Lily Ussher's survived. Orphaned, stolen by the Comanches, ransomed to a shiftless rogue, abandoned at a circus, and she’s only ten. Or twelve. Nobody’s sure. All Lily wants is to find her brother, Eli, who vowed he’d come for her. All she longs for is stability and a family. When the preacher of the Wellerite religious community in the Texas Hill Country offers her a home and promises to find Eli, Lily prays her fortunes have turned. The plain-living Wellerites take Lily into their fold and she’s placed with a childless couple who treat her like their own. Lily has almost everything she wished for – family, friends, a sense of belonging. Eli still hasn’t showed, but the preacher’s looking for him, isn’t he? But Lily’s peace is shattered when a threat comes from within the community and she’s forced to steal away with her family, abandoning the flourishing settlement. They’ve left everything behind to cross the rugged terrain of Texas to start over. Only, this time, Lily carries a debt to a man with an unholy obsession. A man who will stop at nothing to get her back.

End of her problems. Great tale!

Cliff hanger.
Really good book. Loved it until I no longer
did due to it being a cliffhanger. Have to read several books to get any resolution. So here's to saving someone a big headache.

Lily's story, from living with the Comanches, to living with a circus, to joining a religious group, finally moving to a farm with her adopted parents. And still searching for her long lost brother Eli.

Maybe it's because I'm a "girl" but each of these books has been plucking my heartstrings!
This one is especially touching.

Good story about Lily
This could have been book one of the saga. This tells about Lily and her life before Eli finds her. Looking forward to book four.

A Great Series!
After reading the first two books, this series gets better with book three. Mr Scott writes a very good story.

This very predicatable story took a very long time to play out. Better in the context of the 4 book series.

Get ready for the intensity, great story-line and dropping a couple tears. Both my husband and I have read this book and know it to be wonderful. The writing is excellent as it continues the lives of the Ussher family, Lily in a religious community, and her adoptive parents. I could hardly breathe in parts of the book and highly recommend this series. Thanks to the author for a terrific read!
