Silent Angel

Following the savage murders of her family on the Oregon Trail, Jennifer Keating is found barely clinging to life by Fort Laramie's 2nd Cavalry. Alone and destitute, Jenny is determined to pick up the pieces of her shattered life. Making her task even more difficult is her inability to speak, due to the trauma and shock of her ordeal. Very upbeat story and at times humorous, as she hires on as cook for a cattle drive and has to deal with rambunctious cowboys and rancher Matt McCaleb, who falls in love with her.

Received RWA Colorado "Heart of the Rockies" 1992 Award for Best Historical Novel.

Review by Bobbi Smith, New York Times and USA Today Bestselling Author: "Silent Angel is a touching, compelling love story. A wonderful romance! Barbara Dan is a terrific storyteller."
