The Sisters Of The Lone Star trilogy by Joan Johnston is set in Texas during the 1840s, when the region was still an independent republic. Frontier Woman (1988) introduces the first of three heroines who must survive and find love in a harsh, untamed landscape. Comanche Woman (1989) and Texas Woman (1989) continue with the other sisters, each facing her own challenges with Native Americans, settlers, and the land itself.
The trilogy was one of Johnston’s earlier works and established her interest in Texas history and western settings that would carry through the rest of her career. The 1840s setting allows for stories about women who had to be tough enough to survive frontier conditions while the romantic plots develop around them.
