Camaraderie

Canyon War by Sarah Sawyer is a delightful historical novella that will warm your heart. It is the first book in the Doc Beck Western series.

The characters are all well drawn and realistic. I loved the delightfully amusing banter and rapport between Jimmy and Doc Beck. The giving of a nickname ‘Just Jimmy’ shows a feeling of ease and a bond of friendship.

There are two rival groups of tough talking cowboys within the story. The reader witnesses that violence merely serves to destroy from within.
