This is the grit that formed our United States. Yes, this story reminds us that love makes things happen. The love between a man and a woman, the kindness of neighbors, the strength of newly formed communities.
It was a heartwarming read to meet this brave young woman, her stalwart hero, and the variety of personalities woven within this ‘historical quilt’.
Their journey is a gamble, keeping one’s values and wits were a daily battle, it was the drama that kept me turning the pages..
This is a story told with heart, displaying the kindness and treachery some were willing to express to get to their destination.
This is an inspirational tale told by a heartwarming Author. Looking forward to the rest of the series
The first book in the White Raven Series a well written story with a very good storyline the story flowed smoothly from page to page. It seemed like you where there watching the story unfold in front of you. The story starts in the spring of 1849. It is mainly Cathy Brennan and Shane Mackenzie’s story as they and a group of pioneers travel across the Oregon Trail from Nebraska. There will be hardships, a birth, two young men finding each other, a stampede, injury, and romance. I want to read the next book in this series.

A touch of mystery and romance in the old west.
This was a really good western not sure why the rating is so low on Goodreads but I know I enjoyed the book. I found the characters complex and intriguing and just what you would imagine they would be like. With a touch of mystery and romance, I had a hard time putting the book down. The book is on the longer side so give yourself a bit more time to read it. I highly recommend this book it is one I know I will re-visit again and again. I did receive a free copy of this book and voluntarily chose to review it.
The good storyline and the interesting characters captured my attention from the very first page and wouldn’t let me go until the turn of the very last page!
This book sort of skimmed the surface of a wagon train going west. I can’t imagine a girl going by herself. How much research was done on this subject?
