This novel focuses on the hard choices one has to make. It is set in the late 1800's in the Black Hills of the Dakota Territory. There are two, well developed and thought out, main characters with 3 semi-major characters and then the background characters. The most major character is Agnes. The book revolves around her choices both those made in the past and those she is being forced to make.
The other main character is her life-long friend, James. He also has choices to make.
The three semi-major characters are Hannah, Minnie, and Sam. They really help build and fill out the story.
This is a Christian story, but it is not too much a Christian story. There is not a church they attend and not a lot is mentioned about their beliefs. It does mention that they read the Bible and pray. So, if you want more faith-based books you may be disappointed. If you want a good, clean, slightly faith-based, and not preachy book, this is one you won't be sorry you chose.
The story is one where you feel you know the ending, but the development is so good you really aren't sure if you are right or not. The story keeps you guessing until the very end.
I think you will be very happy if you choose to read this. It is for people that want a good, clean, historical fiction novel that keeps your attention throughout. I give this a 4 out of 5 star rating.
I was given a copy of this book to read and review through Revell Blogger Program. The review is fully my own opinion and is freely given.
