I really enjoyed this book. It is about a girl who gets married to a man she hardly knows and moved to out the Colorado Territory to start a homestead with him. She later finds out that she was just a second choice because the woman he really wanted to marry said no. Mattie gets pregnant and has a son. She thinks that her husband is happy and wants to take their son on wagon rides to town for his enjoyment. Later she finds out that he is meeting the other woman and plans to run off with her. I won't tell anymore because I don't want to give the story away. It was a very exciting read, and I found it hard to put the book down.
