REVIEW:
This story is a great way to escape the daily problems and just let yourself drift into the past, the mid 1800's. There are so many adventures and sadness, but joys to make the sadness less.America in the 1800's brought hardships and heartaches, but opportunity arose too. The author is giving us a chance to journey through the lives of three families during their births, deaths and true life events . They were three separate families and yet one. They helped each other with hope, love, joy and unselfishness. An underlying strong faith in God allowed them to withstand tragedy and see it through. You may find yourself joyful, teary eyed and a warmth growing in your heart, This story is one of the best I've read. It's not sugar coated. It's real, the good with the bad. It doesn't depress you but lifts your spirits when you see someone can struggle through the trials and tribulations back in the 1800's without all the modern conveniences.. We modern day people whine and stomp our feet every time something goes wrong. Oh woe is me, what shall I do? This book will be a reality check for some, which is good. We all need that occasionally. So go grab the book, find a cozy place to sit and drift back to the past and enjoy THE DAUGHTER'S EMMA by Susan White (Sue)
