When I get annoyed with some characters and their behavior it's harder for me to like a story. In this case both Marlys and Miss P grated my nerves.
Miss P because she couldn't see the forest for the trees or her blessings through the scriptures she read.
Marlys was worse. What she did to her sister throughout their lives was annoying, but expected. What she did to Royce, though?!
The plight of the Lamb family...I was afraid for them in more ways than one. However, the storyline detailed the situation of many travelers and homesteaders and city dwellers.
This one leaned dangerously close to the preachy Christian books, but it did not cross the line. It was enjoyable. The storylines progressed well, the characters grew, and we saw some old favorite characters make an appearance.
Now if I can get my hands on book 6...
