Jeannie, A Texas Frontier Girl, Book Four
(Final book in the series)

By Evelyn Horan

     Jeannie and her best friend, Helga, are back in this wonderful, warm, book for pre-teen girls, a book that has Christian principles, without being preachy. In the first part of the book the girls are watching workmen finish Jeannie's house on her newly acquired horse ranch, and reminiscing about what has occurred in their lives up to this point, bringing new readers up to date.

     The Jeannie stories are an introduction to the history of Texas and the hardships that people faced in that era. In this book, Jeannie and Helga mature into responsible adults as Jeannie's horse ranch becomes a reality. Love comes into her life...something she has not considered before, and she must cope with a great loss in her life. It takes much soul searching to decide what to do about the discovery of oil on her property.

     This final book in the Jeannie, A Texas Frontier Girl series is a satisfying conclusion to a story that will be long remembered by Evelyn's fans. It's an exciting, well plotted series with lovable characters that will remain in our hearts for a long time.
