As events march along, the Owen children are going to meet, fall in love with, and marry various people. Or maybe they’ll meet, marry, and then fall in love with their spouse. Whatever happens, things will always be interesting.
*Mary Hilbrands was already in love with, and determined to marry, Rulon Owen at the beginning of Gone for a Soldier. That novel is her epic love story, but she also plays a role in The Man from Shenandoah and Spinster’s Folly.
*Ellen Bates, a feisty redhead in The Man from Shenandoah, also appears in Spinster’s Folly. She was betrothed to James Owen in the first of those two books, but events did not follow according to plan. Who did she marry? Read The Man from Shenandoah to discover the answer to that question.
*Amparo Garcés y Martinez shows up in Ride to Raton, when James Owen leaves the family holdings to make a new life for himself. Her meeting with James in a small village in Colorado Territory will change the plans made for her life, but that meeting will ultimately have a major impact upon James’s shattered soul.
