{My Review}

4 Stars!!

A wonderful read filled with suspense, mystery, and of course romance. The plot had so many great descriptions of the Wild West, which I very much enjoyed. It made me feel like I was right there in the novel. Amelia has an amazing heart and calling to find and show the truth even when it is something she or others may not like. Something Amelia learns and is one of the messages is to trust God. Amelia had issues but what Christian doesn't. I loved that element of the book. I think flaws are so important in characters in Christian fiction. Overall, it was a great historical fiction read.
