Wonderful character ... great story!

A wonderful story that will stay with you for a long time. I found myself searching the web to see if Jenny Sanders Pryor was a real person - she certainly seemed so to me after reading the book. Very enjoyable!

Just like the author's AGAINST ALL ODDS: GREAT!

Desperate Crossing, just like Riefe's Against All Odds, was an exciting story of a young pioneer woman on the journey west. Jenny Pryor is just nineteen and recently married when she and her young adopted daughter are captured by the Sioux in a raid on their wagon train. Now Jenny must plan a daring escape.
