At the young age of 17, Jeannie moves to her horse ranch and begins to live her dream, with the help of Slim, her ranch foreman. Changes take place in Jeannie's life over the next three years with her friends and family. She faces a personal loss and must decide what to do about the oil found on her property. She receives two marriage proposals, which is surprising to Jeannie, who has been concentrating on running her horse ranch and nothing else.

Will Jeannie decide to marry, and if so, who? Will she pump oil on her land? You'll have to read the book to find out!

The last in the Jeannie series, this book will bring tears and laughter but leave the reader with that warm, comforting feeling of having visited with an old friend. An outstanding series for adult and child alike, filled with characters who have become family, with plenty of warmth and love, and rounded out with enough historical information to edify while entertain. Highly recommended.

Jeannie, A Texas Frontier Girl, Book Four, will leave readers smiling. It's gratifing to see Book Four of the series end exactly the way the reader hopes it will----in a happy, positive

conclusion. Jeannie and her best friend, Helga, have faced all of life's trials and tribulations, and through perseverance, along with a warm, loving friendship, and their faith in God, they have prevailed. Jeannie's horse ranch has succeeded, as has her personal life. Her future looks bright and promising, giving readers encouragement that, in their own lives, they too can overcome hardship and loss. This is a wonderfully written story that young and old alike will find endearing and entertaining.

Thank you, Evelyn Horan, for the memories your Jeannie series evokes of an earlier era on the Texas frontier."

With the finesse of the talented writer that she is, Evelyn Horan has presented us with the final book in her famous JEANNIE, A TEXAS FRONTIER GIRL four book series. Horan's series introduces us to a preteen Jeannie, her best friend Helga and to their families and friends. Interspersed with the fiction, the author offers us glimpses of Texas as it was in the 1880's. Book four of this, for-young-and-old alike, series carries us forward to Jeannie and Helga maturing into young women. Using their memories of the past, Evelyn Horan, advances her narrative while reviewing bits and pieces of previous books. Book four is a delightful, well-written culmination of Horan's marvelous "Jeannie, A Texas Frontier Girl" series. Horan's avid fans will not be disappointed with this, best-of-the-series final book. I applaud Evelyn Horan for her marvelous achievement in penning a series that captures the interest of preteens; young adults as well as us older folks, a series that seems destined to enchant readers for generations to come. Good job, dear Lady.

Evelyn Horan has written another fascinating historical fiction novel about life in the Old West. Based on a historical fact, JEANNIE, A TEXAS FRONTIER GIRL, BOOK FOUR, is set in the Eastland/Ranger, Texas area during the 1880-90s. Jeannie is a strong willed tomboy. Once again, Jeannie and her best friend Helga find exciting adventures.

Evelyn Horan's book flows well. The book is filled with detailed scenery. The charming characters are realistic, and the dialogue makes you feel as though you are actually taking part in their conversation-in person! She keeps the readers interest with her stimulating style of writing. Horan keeps the suspense going from chapter to chapter, leaving the reader wanting more. JEANNIE, A TEXAS FRONTIER GIRL, BOOK FOUR would make a wonderful addition to school libraries, and public libraries, as it educates, motivates, and entertains. Educators of children ages 11 & up could easily use these books to explore the time-period as well as the traditions and way of life for American pioneer families. This book is intended for young adults, but it is enjoyable for all ages. Sadly, this is the last in the "Jeannie" series. This reviewer looks forward to reading more books by this talented author, and highly recommends JEANNIE, A TEXAS FRONTIER GIRL, BOOK FOUR by Evelyn Horan.

Book Four says good-by to Jeannie and her friends and family. She's all grown up and finally has her horse ranch. Jeanna and Helga remember the good ole days growing up. Book Four is full of fun and excitment and sadness too. If you've read Book One - Three please don't miss Book Four. It is a wonderful and real ending to the life of Jeannie.
