“Horsley’s fictive world is filled with such rich and questioning humanity, such a resonant pain and unpredictable delight, that it does not settle into a mannered revisionism….I think that the novel that stirs the greatest depths in this trilogy is the last, Careless Love.”

            Donn Rawlings in Western American Literature

 

"Horsley's agility serves her well as a writer of historical fiction, since the topics she addresses are necessarily varied and complicated. She deals with them exceptionally well, seeking to understand and present her characters' struggles as completely as possible-to hear all their stories, to explore how historical and cultural realities influenced them, and to encourage the reader to understand how they influence people today."-Bloomsbury Review

"Careless Love is an evocative read." --Tucson Weekly

"Thomas joins Horsley's other protagonists who can take care of themselves and others. Like them Thomas has his ideals and failings, and Horsley's readers love that in a person." --Albuquerque Journal
