Needs an R or even X rating
I will never understand the need for a good story to be so sexually graphic. But even more disturbing is the part where the husband spanks his wife if she does something he feels she shouldn't. I get that these things may have happened in those days but I sure do not wish to read about it. I didn't even bother to finish reading to the end.

Book one of The Johnsons
The Johnson family are in Kentucky and worried about the upcoming War. Kenny Johnson has decided to move with his fiance to Oregon as soon as they are married. That night, his parents are escorting her home, when the spokes in a wagon wheel break causing their wagon to go down a ravine. All are killed.
Heartbroken, Kenny Johnson, as head of the family decides to take all of his siblings to Oregon for a fresh start away from the upcoming War. His sister Lily is engaged and will remain in Kentucky with their grandparents.
Once on the trial, they become friends with the Fisher family - a couple and their daughter. They left North Carolina, but their daughter Callie is upset about the journey. She pouts, argues, and is in a bad mood all the time. Kenny thinks the answer is to spank the attitude out of her. Callie's father agrees, but warns Kenny that if he spanks her, to expect to marry her that day.
Kenny talks to Callie and over time they become friends, but she is still mean to her parents. Finally, he has had enough and spanks her. The minister is ready when they come out of the wagon.
This is a page-turning adventure of the Oregon Trail, and a nice introduction to the series.

Kenny and Callie
This is a tale of the Johnson and the Fisher families and their wagon train trip to the Willamette Valley in Oregon. These two families start out as two and end up as one big family. You will enjoy going along with them on their trail. The good times and the not so good ones too and maybe find a little love too.
