Canyon War by Sarah Sawyer is a delightful historical novella that will warm your heart. It is the first book in the Doc Beck Western series.
The characters are all well drawn and realistic. I loved the delightfully amusing banter and rapport between Jimmy and Doc Beck. The giving of a nickname ‘Just Jimmy’ shows a feeling of ease and a bond of friendship.

Shaft Of Truth by Sarah Elisabeth Sawyer is a fabulous Christian historical novel set in 1894 and continues the Choctaw Tribune series. This is book three. I recommend you read the previous two books first for maximum enjoyment and to really appreciate the action here.
