This is the extraordinary story of Harriet Potter-the delicate, dark-eyed girl who became a legend during the stirring days of the battle for Texan independence and who played a dramatic part in the growth and destiny of her beloved and beautiful land. Harriet Potter was many things. She was the frightened young girl, abandoned with two small children in a savage, lonely wilderness and left there to die. She was the proud beauty, dressed in a silken gown and mud-spattered slippers, waiting to ride away from the approaching Mexican armies with the man she loved. To some, Harriet was the scheming, shameless wanton who deserted her husband to take up with another man-a man linked with a sensational scandal. To the Caddo Indians living in the rich forest and lake country of Northeast Texas, she was the "kishi-woman, " kindred to Ina, the Earth Mother. And to others, she as "The Bravest Woman in the Republic of Texas"-heroine of a thousand tales, each one taller than the last, and each one true. Harriet's story is a story of stormy passion and idyllic love, of jealously and vengeance, of unbearable loneliness and suffering, and of triumph over all the odds life could present to one beautiful, courageous woman. But above all, it is the story of her three great loves: for the Gambler-the man with the hero's face and a coward's cunning; for the Statesman-who swept her along in his headlong escape from a hideous past; and for the Trader-with whom she was to know true and lasting happiness.

IThe first time I read Love Is A Wild Assault, was back in the 70's when I checked it out from my school library, I thought I was sneeking a steamy love novel past the librarian! I was wrong, but I wasn't disappointed. It was a beautifully written novel about Harriet Potter and her life during the difficult times in early Texas history. She looks back over her life and wants to share her experiences, good and bad, with her granddaughter. She shares the dark times filled with heartache and fears. She shares the happy times full of joy and fulfillment. Not long ago, I went to a public library to try to check it out and I asked if they had Love Is A Wild Assault. The librarian asked, "love is what?" "A wild assault,"I said. "Love is a wild what?" "LOVE IS A WILD ASSAULT!!!" Finally, she quietly looked it up and said that they didn't have a book by that title. So, I am buying a copy of my own! If you enjoy reading historical fiction, you will fall in love with this book. If you decide to check it out at your local library first, I suggest you write the title and author down on a piece of paper and hand it quietly to the librarian to avoid having to yell the title out!!

personal view of the Texas revolution
An interesting account of one woman's experience during Texas' fight for independence. This book gives the reader a good feeling of what Texas was like in that time period, with all of its uncertainties and fears. Easy to read, and surprisingly you might learn something along the way. Women's rights have certainly come a looong way from those days!
