What a wonderful book! It takes you into the personal lives of people living on the Frontier in the mid to late 1700's, and makes you feel that you are along for the journey. It's an interesting love story, but brings into play the hardships involved in living in that time and place. Ms. Blevins writing is clear and very evocative, and her character's conversations ring true even though they're often speaking in a Scottish or Irish brogue. Each of the people becomes very memorable and individual and you truly begin to care about or hate them. I found myself totally immersed in the period and unwilling to stop reading.I couldn't believe that the book ended! Anyone who is interested in American history will sure enjoy this novel.
