First read with this author. My Kindle is giving me all kinds of recs. of these to read. If you are in the mood for a feel good story with kind of a pioneer twist to it I strongly suggest this book. There is another in the series and it is downloading as we speak. If I like it half as much I will be reading more from this writer. It takes alot for me to purchase two books in a week that were 9.99 but I just have to see what happens to the family. I would probably give this 3.5 stars if I could but decided to bump it up rather than down because there are so many great messages and life lessons in it. It's a great illustration of what certain people and influences can do to one's self confidence and self esteem. It's also a great illustration of how healing and strength can come from adversity and forgiveness. The only reason it wasn't perfect for me was the poor editing and mixed up paragraphs in the Nook version I read. I also felt the dialog was a bit stilted and awkward at times. The message was right on though and I will definitely want to read the sequel!
Do You like book River's Song (2011)?
Can't wait for the next book in this series.
