SARITA Kindle Edition

by Natalie Musgrave Dossett (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.5 out of 5 stars (140)
"A powerful tale of revenge and perseverance in the face of danger. " - Kirkus Reviews

"Not since True Grit have we celebrated a plucky young girl on a mission to set her turbulent, dusty world right ..." - David Marion Wilkinson, award winning author

"Libraries and readers seeking powerful elements of history and thriller that share equal billing in their depth and deployment will find Sarita an exceptional aquisition." - D. Donovan, Senior Reviewer, Midwest Book Review

"(Dossett) possesses a firm grasp of the landscapes and culture of the Wild West and strikingly demonstrates this through her narration." - Lily Andrews, reviewer at Feathered Quill

In the summer of 1920, nineteen-year-old Sarita’s younger brother, JJ, bleeds to death in her arms after being shot by Javier Salsito de Ortega, a ruthless tequila smuggler. The Texas Rangers have their hands full with Prohibition and border issues. Still, Sarita is stunned when they refuse to help.

JJ’s death devastates her father. Without a male heir, Sarita fears he will give in to the oil prospector intent on buying their family ranch, La Barroneña. Even in his despair, she knows her father yearns for justice, but he is too ill and weak to seek it.

Sarita isn’t.

Determined to prove herself and change her fate, she crosses the Rio Grande into a world of deadly threats––from rattlesnakes to Pancho Villa’s rebels to the very killer she’s hunting. Quickly, Sarita realizes she’s stumbled into a web of danger far bigger and more sinister than she imagined. If she is caught, the consequences could jeopardize innocent lives and put her father’s safety at risk.

In a tumultuous landscape of social and political upheaval, what lines will Sarita have to cross to survive? Will her relentless pursuit of justice exact a price too steep to bear? If she succeeds––if she gets home––will she have earned her father’s respect? Will she have secured her family’s future?

    5.0 out of 5 stars borderland magic

    Oh, I love this book. True Grit meets All the Pretty Horses in this bang up tale of revenge and resolution along the Rio Bravo down Mexico way. Young Sarita watches frozen with fear as her little brother is gunned down by the nasty Tequilero, Victor, a smuggler of guns and tequila ..After all helpful doors close in her face, Sarita sets off on her own into the sweltering borderlands where men rule over women with fists and brute strength to track down her brother’s killer.
    Her Tejano blood notwithstanding, she is just a stupid girl and a gringa to boot . She will probably not survive to see tomorrow. Every bend in the road takes her closer to death. Her luck is always running out but she survives against all odds and keeps on searching - for her brother’s killer, for the truth and for herself. The story gets a bit off track. Near the end, Sarita’s unequivocal need to save Carlos, the brother of an old school friend, seems forced and odd but it makes everything else work. In any case, a great story well told. I can’t wait to see what the author gives us next time.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Well-written and engaging story of 1920s life on the Texas border
    Reviewed in the United States on April 24, 2025
    Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase
    I discovered this book by a new author quite by accident as it was the selected reading for a book club that I was invited to as a guest. Not knowing what to expect, I was pleasantly surprised by the excellent writing, accurate portrayal of Texas history in the early 1920s, and a strong heroine who is a worthy example of many women living in Texas at the time. The story is complex and the characters have engaging depth. One interesting note after hearing the author speak about the book, there are several details in the book that are based on actual people and places which is probably why the story feels so authentic. An excellent read that was worth the time and the purchase. I look forward to the Natalie Musgrave Dossett's next book!

    5.0 out of 5 stars A Pleasant Surprise
    Reviewed in the United States on September 23, 2024

    I was perusing books on the Atmosphere Press website a couple months ago and I came across Sarita. The storyline sounded interesting, so I took a chance and pre-ordered it, and I'm so glad I did. Sarita is a compelling character, and I enjoyed reading about a female heroine in a typically male role. Most books of this genre involve a male protagonist with a female love interest, but not this one! From the beginning, some of the scenes were so action-packed and suspenseful that I was on the edge of my seat waiting to find out what would happen next. I stayed up late last night reading it, but finally had to drop off to sleep with about 20 pages left, so can't wait to get home from work to finish it tonight. If I had one complaint, it's that too many of the "good guys" die, but that also keeps it interesting. For me, the book calls to mind James Fenimore Cooper's Leatherstocking Tales, which is a compliment. I hope there is a sequel or a series that comes out of this. Really great for a first novel.
