Pursued by two men, one her dead husband's kin and one a rugged frontiersman, Sabrina Kane, a spirited young widow, struggles to survive in frontier Illinois while caring for her despondent father. Original.
The page count is wrong, it's actually closer to 300 pages on the Internet Archive.
Your husband just died and people keep saying "oh he's a dreamer and had no real strength to him because he was too kind and caring about everything and everyone and you'll meet a real man" WITHIN THE DAY OF THE MAN'S DEATH FROM HER OWN FATHER. Wtf?
As such, the man she meets plays a joke with her about indians so she wouldn't stay at her husband's grave and weep over his loss? Then within a week, hands her a toddler and says congrats on being a mother?
I quit reading at that point, halfway through the book. Though I liked the writing and a few Indian characters were awesome, the rest of it was rage bait.
It sucked because I really did enjoy the writing and the story had potential, but I just can't. I don't know if this should be marked as spoilers? It was within the first quarter of the book. But just in case, I'll mark it as having spoilers.
I do also like the cover. It gives vague Bonanza vibes.
