I recently finished reading this new book by Gerard Lasalle, Widow Walk.  Once I began reading it, I finished it quickly.  It was a good read, had a good flow, likeable characters, and an interesting plot.

Here’s a brief overview: Pioneer Isaac Evers, based on the historical figure Colonel Isaac Ebey, and his wife Emmy, settled on Whidbey Island and established a prosperous, small colony there. Their life was fairly quiet until a bloody attack on northern indigenous tribe members set a group of natives off on a path to revenge. When their path crosses the Evers’ homestead, chaos ensues. Emmy must use every resource and muster every thread of courage she has to protect and piece back together what matters most – her family.

I found the people in the book very much kept me emotionally engaged, worrying for them and rooting for them.  The story was original, but not outrageous, and it was believable.  The characters were fully developed, even the more minor ones, and fully kept you captivated, entwined in the book, wanting to know the outcome.   The story of a mother’s love is always one that will touch a heart.  This was a good read, very enjoyable.  To find out more or to pick up a copy, head  over to http://www.widow-walk.com/widow-walk.html
