I just finished News of the World by Paulette Giles. It's a wonderful tale of an old soldier who takes on the task of returning a child stolen by the Kiowa to her family. The old man and the wild child bond during a perilous journey through a lawless land.

I started So Brave, Young and Handsome by Lief Enger but got side-tracked by Owen Wister so I appear to be reading The Virginian instead. This seems to be a week for westerns. I'll return to Enger but I don't find SBYH as engaging as Virgil Wander.
