A New Face in Town by Susan Payne

A woman alone . . . and afraid . . .

     Naïve to the ways of the world and innocent about those who seek to weave malice simply because they can Victoria Watkins responds to an advertisement for a mail order bride.

     After narrowly escaping gang rape—or worse—she boards the first train out of town and ends up in Sweetwater, Kansas as . . . The New Face in Town. . .

Our Review:

     Once again Susan Payne brings her gift for creating multi-layered characters, colloquial dialogue, and describing rich settings. Writing a series is not as easy as some might think, particularly weaving names, faces and occupations into the story arc without confusing the reader. Ms. Payne does it with ease and comfort. We felt like we'd simply opened to the next chapter—and are better for it.

On a scale of 1—5, A New Face in Town deserves a 5.
