Reviews

[Rebekah Morris · Rating 4 out of 5]

I don’t know if I’ve ever read a story set in Ohio when it was considered the Frontier. I’ve used to the Frontier being west of the Mississippi, or in Tennessee or Kentucky. It was quite interesting to read about the travels and the land in this time period.
As usual, this author doesn’t write a drama filled romance. Instead, her characters are alive and while there isn’t drama, that doesn’t mean nothing happens. Many things happened! Of course Susanna and Jeremiah were my favorites.
I loved the faith content and the fact that some of the characters were strong Christians.

Sarah Brazytis has written so many great, historical books, and this is yet another one to add to the list. This book is shorter than some of her others (referred to as a "weekend read"), it combines both excitment, historical accuracy and romance together all at once. Susanna is sweet and selfless, serving her family even though they do take her quite for granted. Jeremiah is woodsman through and through, and his love for the exciting and adventursome trail is evident. It would take too much time to describe all the other characters, but they were well-done and realistic; the historical research top-notch, as usual! I give it five stars, and can't wait to read the next one!
