‘Fille de Joie’ is a charming story of a married couple reunited after an almost two year separation. Kelly does not leave comedy out of her collection. The account of their struggle to fight hunger, thirst, the elements, and of course, the Apaches, is mesmerizing. After his detail’s captain is killed and John is injured, authority falls to surgeon Jesse MacGregor. The collection concludes with ‘Jesse MacGregor.’ The narrator, John, looks back on an Apache attack in the desert. ‘A Season for Heroes’ tells of a Buffalo Soldier named Ezra Freeman, a true hero to one officer’s family. In ‘Mary Murphy’ one soldier reflects about the hard life of a laundress. In the end, hers is a story of loss, love and survival. She struggles with isolation and the cruelty of the others in the fort because of her rapid marriage.
‘Kathleen Flaherty’s Long Winter’ weaves a tale of an Irish woman who has no choice but to marry a man she barely knows after the death of her husband leaves her penniless. This collection of nine stories set in the era of the frontier army gives an entertaining and educational glimpse into a world not often explored in fiction.
