In Search of Steenie Bergman

Soderberg Series #5

by Blaine M. Yorgason, Brenton G. Yorgason

In another romp through the Old West, master storytellers Blaine and Brenton Yorgason describes the teenage years of Jons Soderberg (later Bishop Soderberg In The Bishop's Horse Race). Jons has fallen in love with the beautiful Steenie Bergman, wise beyond her years. But Steenie's step-uncle Ben Crost has decided he wants nothing more to do with the Mormons. So he leaves the Salt Lake Valley, taking his family - and Steenie - with him. Steenie, however, has left a note to Jons, hoping he will rescue her and bring her back. Jons has several problems, though, not the least of which is the federal army that is fast approaching Salt Lake City. Still, with the help of crusty old Gideon Monson, a half-wild dog named Lazarus, and a little gray mustang named Perdy, Jons perseveres to find his true love - and learns some lessons about faith in the process.

I really enjoy Yorgason's historical fictions. They seem so realistic and the historic parts are allowing me to learn more about the early history of my people. The characters are well developed and the plot keeps you on your toes

This was a fun and pretty exciting read. It was cool having famous names pop up like Ephraim Hanks. The story focused a lot on Jons's horse and dog, if you like that sort of thing.

This was an enjoyable story. Not really deep or life changing but a fun read. My hubby and I read it on a weekend get away.
