Rating: 2.5 Stars!! Review: This was my first time reading this book in this series by this author and i thought i'd enjoy it since it was Historical Fiction but sadly parts of it were just TOO SLOW for me.
The Characters were interesting which left in intrigued.
The Setting was interesting as well and very beautifully told that made me feel like i was in the 1880s with the characters.
Overall it was ok expect for Chapter's 6-10 which felt dragged on with lots of repeating. I will check out the other books in this series BUT This one just wasnt for me!!
A very sweet story about a mail-order bride who endures many terrifying circumstances both before she decides to answer a letter from a US Marshall and on the trip west. Faith, salvation, romance, healing, love, forgiveness, and sacrificial caring are present in the plot. Enjoyable!
