Fashion is a fickle industry, a frightening fact for 24-year-old model Ivy Clark. Ten years in and she’s learned a sacred truth - appearance is everything. Nobody cares about her broken past as long as she looks beautiful for the camera. This is the only life Ivy knows - so when it starts to unravel, she’ll do anything to hold on. Even if that means moving to the quaint island town of Greenbrier, South Carolina, to be the new face of her stepmother’s bridal wear line - an irony too rich for words, since Ivy is far from the pure bride in white.

Countless dangers lurk on the Bastrop, Texas, riverside. Zillia must rely on the help of her best friends, Soonie and Wylder, to hold her world together. With Zillia’s struggles come unexpected miracles, and proof that God might just listen to the prayers of a river girl.

So Different, Yet All Are Loved
Loved the narrator, especially because she sang a character or backdrop. I initially tried to review the first story, but this is actually better. The River Girl's Song Zillia's mother died giving birth to her little brother. His father, her stepfather, an abusive gambler and drunkard, abandons them taking everything of value he can carry. Zillia is a "stiff upper lip" kind of girl. She steps up to the plate, taking care of the ranch, farming and caring for her little brother. He's a handful! Her best friends Wylder and Soonie Eckhart and their grandparents watch over her, extending help and protection as often as they can without totally taking over. Some seasons they two barely scrape by, some they totally fail, but YHWH always provides a helping hand whenever she needs it. When her squirrelly stepfather comes back, it's all hands on deck and Wylder is there to catch her before she falls. A Commanche Girl's Prayer Soonie leaves with her uncle to teach at an illegal settlement of Commanche/Kiowa natives who refuse to stay on a reservation. They have to stay hidden and the leader of Fort Sill helps however he can. Soonie meets Lone Warrior in this place. But trappers want what the natives have and cause trouble. They are warned by Darla, a saloon girl and the race is on. The Saloon Girl's Journey Darla has to start over again after leaving the Commanche/Kiowa settlement. She ends up at Down's house, a place for women who have lived in unfortunate circumstances. There she meets and falls in love with Ethan Downs. Ma Downs, Ethan's mother runs the place and she fully knows Darla's history. But Darla doesn't realize she knows, so she hides her history and her feelings, which brings trouble and redemption. Each of these women love YHWH. Each is very different. Zillia is quiet, loyal and strong. Soonie is mixed race, dealing with racism, feeling as if she doesn't really fit anywhere. Darla is fiesty, brave and secretive. YHWH meets each of them where they're at, meeting all of their needs. It's an excellent read! I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

Very enjoyable series!
These books are fun. Interesting Heroines, and the storylines are different and keep you listening. They are set in the Texas Territories in the years after the Natives were reloated to Fort Sill. The Narrator did a wonderful job. and she sang when needed in some chapters. Good job!

Excellent set of stories
I wavered on the rating for story, but decided the only thing about it was this is an unusual genre for me. One I would not generally read. However, I really enjoyed the series. It also made me really ponder those times and the relationships between the Native Nations and the new Americans and the unique difficulties faced by believers in those times and in different areas. I know, I’m overthinking it. But I like to do that. If you don’t, you can just listen to them and enjoy the stories as they are. They are good. Some of the characters are very like able, and some are villains. This was altogether a find set of stories, but not a series.

Life in 1890
Comanche Girl Prayer The year of 1890 a strong faith to go to Texas to teach children in hiding. She is only nineteen, what an undertaking. Saloon Girl Darla tired of the life she was living, goes and now finds herself in a house of women of the night. She is determined and how she makes changes. A favorite of how her new faith guiding her. Looking at the hardship of women in the 1890's, they were still almost a child, yet having to make decisions as adult, and the hard changes that would occur. Difficult to read in someways, of how they had to do what was needed to survive Given audio also. was good for my voluntary review and my honest opinion
