Reviews

"Unbroken is stark, powerful and affecting, much like Wyoming itself. Forbes is God of her world and tells her story with cool elegance. The reader is fast drawn to the unforgiving life of a rancher and as each character struggles in their search to find meaning in their chosen path they pull your heart in yet another direction."
 -Anna Maxted, best selling author, Getting Over It

"I was roped into the story by the lyrical poetic style of the author from page one... The setting, Wyoming,is obviously a place with which the author is as intimate with as her own arms and legs... Her poetic, original and moving descriptions of the changes of the landscape and the characters from season to season reflect both her love and struggles with this unbroken land... Forbes is able, through a simple gesture or brief dialogue to grow the characters true to the seeds of the their becoming. I recommend this very well-written novel to everyone. It left me with a sense of enrichment, of knowing and feeling more than before the reading. Truly a GREAT BOOK!"
-Nel Rand, author, The Burning Jacket

"Forbes' debut novel is powerful and she presents a host of characters who are all complex emotionally flawed beings. This is especitally so in their Wyoming setting as the characters face extremely harsh winters and the diffucult 24/7 life of ranchers. The plot's emphasis on two strong women struggling to maintain a relationship is unique against a dramatic background of infidelity, single motherhood, poverty and small town isolation." -Judge, WILLA Literary Award
