Mimicking the quick settlement of the frontier, the second book of the Shumard Oak Bend series brings in characters thick and fast. Fortunately, all are intriguing with well-developed backstories and clear motivations.
Pete Manning originally moved to the western frontier while running from the law. Now, his name is cleared, and he longs to make his house a home. The one thing he's missing is the woman he met two years before and never forgot. But she and her people, the Arapaho had moved on. He'd missed his chance. When his independent niece shows up unexpectedly, Lizzie's desire to live outside of society's norms injects new energy and goals into Pete's predictable life. Instead of simply surviving, performing daily chores, and ingesting barely edible food, Pete is pushed to make something of his land and his life. He even contemplates seeking Singing Bird, the woman he loves, and offering her his heart.
The story of The Shankles, from book one of the series, continues as they grow their land, their family, and their extended circle of friends. Despite the outside conflicts of racism and sexism, The Shankles make it clear to everyone who crosses their threshold that not only does their family believe the Bible's teaching that we are all of one blood and that all people are made in the image of God, who has no regard of race, they put that belief into practice. With All My Heart is a refreshing anti-racist book set in the antebellum U.S. The interwoven stories of the characters offer a rare glimpse of true Christianity played out on the frontier.
