Reviews

[Ashley Harris · Rating 4 out of 5]

Son said “8/10 stars” he loved this story and wished there was a series of it to hear more about Peter and his wild bronco. A classic “city boy turns cowboy” story. Only knocked a star because some of the Mormon history was more flattering than the true history, but it was more telling of personal stories. No doctrine discussed. Exactly what I was looking for in a living book to read to our kids about the new state we moved too.
