The Baker Family Saga #4
Deep Trouble: Finding the power of his resurrection
This is the fourth book in the baker Family Saga. It is set in the 1850s Oregon, California, what is now Utah, and inbetween. It is a story of kidnapping, fear and anxietyy - all triumphed over with love and humor. A story of missguided love and true love; sometimes a comody of errors.

About the author
Allison Kohn
69 books51 followersI was born in 1938 in Jackson Hole, Wyoming. My grandmother was the first white child to enter the valley and I heard stories about pioneering from the time I was laying in my basenette. That was the beginning of my love of history and telling stories. When I discovered the power of the written word, I used it, not only for writing serious pieces for for expressing my views on politics and religion, but to tell parables - interesting stories to demonstrate helpful truths.
I published devotions on line for about three years and numerous newspaper articles through the years. I also published some of my novels on line a few years ago, but now it is time to get my writing out to a broader public.

Deep Trouble by Allison Kohn is the fourth book of a series about the Baker family in the 1800's. I believe the book is based on real people, but this is not totally made clear. I enjoyed Alice, an engaging character. Her relationship with Ray and her cousins is sometimes amusing, other times heartfelt.
It is a story filled with people and events that I can tell Kohn cares deeply about. The pace, however, was slowed down by too many characters being introduced, whose relationship and importance to the main characters was not always explained. And while the bibical references were important, I felt fewer of them would have made the story a little less preachy.
The version I read was in PDF format, which should is the best available for getting a good layout. However, there were too many different fonts used throughout the the book, making reading difficult in some instances. Also, the superscripts used to reference certain words were too small and in roman numerals which were barely visable. In a PDF file, these references should have been hyper-linked to the references in the back of the book, so if you click on the word it would take you to the reference. A good editing would have helped.
