Charlotte

I was totally in-merged in the book I liked the semi historical events. The love story and family connections were mixed together well. I totally would read a part 2 if there was one.

All good - humor, suspense, historical facts, romance. TY. I'll read everything JS Anthony writes and pass them on to friends.

It was such a pleasure to read a book without swearing, excessive violence or descriptive sex. And I really loved the characters. It was also rather curious that the religion called "Brothers of Ezekiel" (or the Family) have very similar beliefs with the native indians (of a life in heaven before being sent to this earth.)

I enjoyed this book like I haven’t enjoyed a book in a long time. The straight forward conversation, the mixing of societal realities at a time when there was much confusion. So sad to have this book end. Moving onto this author’s second book now.

Loved this book! Was sad when it ended. Wanted to keep reading and dreaming. Some of the characters really grew on me.

This is such a lovely book. It’s about the stubbornness, the world to make it in the world that’s not always welcoming.

I'm unfamiliar with this author. I gave only 3 stars for several reasons. To me, the "hook" was a bit misleading; I was expecting something else entirely. As the story unfolded, I wasn't able to predict its ending. That said, the story itself moved very slowly for me; I had to put the book down twice. I did finish it, but was only somewhat satisfied with the ending. For the most part, it's a stand-alone story. Characters of her next book were mentioned briefly, but this story was not exciting enough to make me want more. Based on this one experience, I'd be hard-pressed to read another.

This book was so interesting. It didn't follow the usual storyline of wagon trains but ventured onto a different and intriguing path. The characters were well defined and believable. I enjoyed this book very much

Der Plot ist nicht sonderlich originell oder glaubwürdig aber sehr gut, wenn auch etwas nüchtern, erzählt. .Charlotte muss fliehen, man will sie hängen, da sie ihren gewalttätigen Mann in Notwehr getötet hat. Ein Indigener hilft ihr, man reist zusammen, kommt sich näher.Die Dialoge sind teilweise sehr merkwürdig und für mich nicht nachvollziehbar, was wohl auch englischen Muttersprachlern so erging. Die Charaktäre bleiben ziemlich flach, etwas mehr über die Figuren zu erfahren. So hat die Fantasie des Lesers zwar Spielraum, aber beimir zündete nicht viel. JSA scheint Hunger zu leiden, wie auch in dem anderen Buch von jsa gehen mir die Fress- und Brotbackorgien der Hauptfigur absolut auf den Keks und sind irgendwann nur noch abstoßend. Es ist ok gelegentlich zu erwähnen was gegessen oder gekocht wird, aber das geht einfach zu weit.

I loved all the different characters. They sprang out of the page, larger than life. It is an original story - sad, heartwarming and ultimately hopeful.

This is an amazing book, completely I read this felt what it must be like to live life on a wagon train. Read this book in two days.

Charlotte had killed in self defense, belonging to a religious sect she is sentenced to hang, her father an elder helps her join a wagon train heading for Oregon, when Ellis Gray is voted out of leader as a single woman she is asked to leave the train, she meets Chace, an indian, he guides her to fort RandallNot Bad

A wonderful book full of wisdom and emotion. Its the second time that Ive read it and it's even better than the first.
