About book The Key On The Quilt (2012)

This was not one of my favorite reads. Had this book not said that it was in the late 1800's I'm not sure I would have been able to distinguish this book as historical; other than Max getting his horse at the livery. At times I though jail life came off a bit quaint. I never really connected to Jane; I did find Martin Underhill to be the most genuine and sincere and he was just a side character; a guard. This is the first Stephanie Grace Whitson book I've read and maybe it was just the whole book surrounded around the jailhouse that I thought I might like but turns out I needed more. I think it was just the story I didn't care for and not the writer. Key on the Quilt by Stephanie Grace WhitsonI enjoyed reading this simply told story. I enjoy an historical novel and I know very little about womens' prisons of the states a hundred and 30 years or so ago! Ms Whitson's interpretation seems like it might be too gentle. I think the conditions may have been harsher than described in this novel. I also believe it would be extremely difficult for a woman to return to “normal” society after being in prison even if wrongly accused! I still enjoyed the story and the happy ending.
