1853. Wagon trains, hardships, Indians, Pioneers, untamed lands.
Opening scene is the massacre of Naomi's family. Then the story starts months before that happened. I could not understand why it was written that way because once I knew what happened to her family why would I want to get to know them. But getting to know them, made that first scene all them more heartbreaking and made the story so much more intense.
What a good read!!
