MY THOUGHTS
I have not read a great wagon train historical fiction in some years. It’s funny because I was just talking to my husband the other day about how I’ve missed reading these types of stories and stories about pioneers recently. I’ve been reading a lot of WWII stories recently and while I do enjoy them it’s nice to have a variety in my historical fiction so I’m glad the author has written this book.
I’ve been reading this author’s books for so long and I can always count on a fabulous and realistic story that has you feeling as though you’re there and can talk to the characters. In this case I could feel the danger the characters are in, for example the wagons as they are fording the streams. This is something we wouldn’t worry about today, but the author writes it in with such authenticity.
How easily someone could be admitted to an asylum while claiming the person was having hysterics and paying off a doctor is just wrong. There was danger filled times and joyful times and I enjoyed the book a lot. I look forward to the next book in the series.
