I had high expectations for this book because it sounded like something right up my alley. Unfortunately, many aspects of this book were disappointing. When I first opened this book, I noticed the map (which was pretty cool) and the three-page character glossary. Even with the help of the glossary, which I consulted often, I still struggled to understand who was who, who married whom, and which children belonged to each person. Secondly, I found the writing of this novel bland. It presented everything in a very long-winded manner and couldn't catch my attention. I often had to go back and reread because I didn't catch what was being said. On top of all that, this book also character-hopped every few paragraphs, switching stories and issues being discussed. It was difficult to keep up with because the characters were not given the chance to come alive on the page. This book was not for me but I still encourage you to give it a try. Rating: 2 Stars Content: Cannot Assign due to DNFing this novel *I received a complimentary copy of this novel from the publisher in exchange for an honest review. All thoughts are my own and a positive review was not required. The Stevens-Murphy company aims to be the first wagons to cross into California via the Sierra Nevada Mountains. The part decides to split up, several going overland via Lake Tahoe, another party abandoning the wagons to travel across the mountains, and a third staying with the wagons. When the party traveling across the mountains realizes that they won't make it, most of them shelter in a makeshift cabin while a handful push across the mountain. The book focused on the women's stories, showing how they banded together to survive the deadly winter. The women were well developed and interesting characters. I enjoyed reading from their point of view. At times the pace of the book felt very slow, however, the women's stories kept me reading. Overall 3 out of 5 stars. sem críticas | adicionar uma crítica

If there isn't cheating in a book there is disrespect. Especially in Christian fiction lately.
