Review for After the Shadows (Secrets of Sweetwater Crossing #1) by Amanda Cabot

  
Rating: 5 Stars!! 
Review: 
Even tho this was only the 2nd Series ive Read/Started by Amanda, i can happily say this is now in My Top 5 Favorite Historical Fiction Series of All time. 

Most Historical Fiction's talk about how a character goes from tragedy to triumph without talking about their journey but not this one. This one was different in a good way!! I loved how Amanda described how Emily dealt with her Teaching Career, Losing an Abusive Husband and A Loving Father as she tried to overcome all that and make a better life for herself and her sisters. 

The Characters were enjoyable and interesting to read about. Emily, Louisa and Sara were definately my favorites since i could really relate to The Grief they were going through after Tragically losing their Father since ive been feeling that same Grief since losing My Dad in 2021. 

The Setting was beautifully described which made me feel like i was actually in 1800s Sweetwater, Texas while reading especially when the scenery was described. 

Overall a Phenomenal Book 1 in This Historical Fiction Series about a Teacher learning Secrets about her Husband and Father after their passings!! Can't wait to read Book 2 soon!!
