The lovely cover made me want to read this book, as well as the fact that it is set in Texas in the 19th century, a favorite historical time and place for me. The author's research made the story ring true, and this reader sympathized with the main character, Zillia, from the opening scene. Her journey from a well-loved daughter through grief, determination, and growing faith in God is poignant and compelling. Although it works well as a novella, in several scene breaks I kept wishing the authorThis was an interesting tale from the early days of Texas. I appreciated Zilla's determination and reliance on God throughout what amounts to a harrowing coming of age tale. Without giving it all away, she survives an evil stepfather, the loss of her mother, and has the backbone to refuse giving up on her baby brother to the stepfather's family. Through all the struggles she relies on God and loving neighbors who are half Indian, shunned by many in the town. I'm queuing up the next book in the
So much history and wonderful read.So enjoyed this book and the others I have read by this writer. The characters are wonderful and you feel that you know them and feel as they do in the story. Love the way history is explained and how you really get a feel for the way they truly lived. Will read all of her books, they are amazing.

Her best friends, Soonie and Wylder help Zilla hold her world together.I loved this book. It's about struggling in a harsh land. That makes the characters even better.Rating: Mild+ for some substance use, mild sensuality, and some violence or horror; also contains mild kissing. Clean and wholesome, faith-based inspirational Christian
A wonderful historical novella that will inspire many young women. A message of perseverance, faith, loyalty, and love. This story contains many life lessons that are lacking in today's day and age. The characters were endearing and the settings rich. I felt like I knew these people and could go down the road aways and run into them at the general store.I recommend this clean read for the girls on the verge of womanhood in your life.
I finished this book in one night. I was supposed to be working on something else, but err, got distracted and kept reading.River Girl's Song is sad, moving, and powerful. 16 year old Zillia suffers so much loss, and yet tackles the challenge of raising her baby brother on her own while running a farm. Having kids of my own, I know how hard it is to take care of a newborn, and then a baby, and a toddler, etc. I can't imagine doing it on my own, at that time, at that age. Zillia was definitely in
