Carla Kelly’s books always have so much historical detail in them — this one focuses on an army garrison in Wyoming in the 1870’s. She doesn’t gloss over the harsh life or the realities of war, yet her stories are always full of hope. This one had more sexual references than her others that I’ve read (although the characters were married).
