Great Book

Loved the characters and the story.

Great read!

Loved this book.... would like more of the story...

Didn't Want To Put Down

This book was great reading, from page one, to the very end. You fall in love with the worn down Ella, to the feisty southern belle, Caroline. Women were promised land if they made the trek to Nebraska. What they found was really themselves and so much more. I would highly recommend it.

Continually entertaining!

This book kept me interested from beginning to the end! Fabulous characters! Hard to put down. I'll definitely be purchasing this one & I know I'll enjoy reading it again & again!

Loved it!
