Publisher's summary

One family’s saga had only just begun....

In the epic sequel to Cavalcade we find out what happens to the Herriots once they arrive in Oregon and take up their claim. Erin and Molly have arrived in Oregon with their family. Granted 640 acres of land for married couples under the Organic Laws of Oregon, they have to build their home, farm, and eke out a living from the raw land. Wolves, bears, and wildcats are the least of their worries in this new land. Hard work and trust in each other to do their very best are the keys to conquering the wilderness as they pioneer their lives on the high plains of Oregon! Come along as they and their family live a life that few attempted in this wilderness near the Blue Mountains of Oregon.

Part of the fantastic set of prequels to Vetted and Vetted Further!

A Hopeful Taste of Reality

This book felt like stepping into a time machine, meeting women from a different era and growing to care about them, their lives and the people whom they affected so profoundly.

I really enjoyed listening to this book!

I waited for Pioneering with bated breath because I loved Cavalcade and I was not disappointed! I loved that this started off right where Cavalcade left off as if the first sentence was just the next chapter. This is a continuation of the lifelong love story of Molly and Erin. It takes you through the next stage of their life once they have their homestead and continues until after their death. The end of the book gives you nice closure of their and their children's lives. I very much enjoyed it and didn't want to put it down. It was well written and the descriptions of the events and activities in their lives were nicely done. I highly recommend this book. This was only my second audiobook and it was as good as the first - Cavalcade by the same author. I loved listening to the sensuous voice reading to me. It also allowed me to enjoy this book while I was doing other things. I did not want this book to end and can't wait to listen to the next book in the series!

A Great

This had to be one of the best I’ve listened to. The end was bittersweet and I loved how it came full circle to Erin and Molly. I’ll always think of them as young! I was surprised to be riveted to their daily lives and how they worked their “Farm” and a great conclusion and a stepping stone to Fiona’s story in the next series! I loved Timmy and how he became as a man. Amy Deuchler did a great job narrating this book.

Enjoyable

I enjoyed listening to this book and enjoyed the story. I was happy with the book and would listen to more by this author or narrator..I provided this review in exchange for a complimentary copy of the audiobook from the author, narrator, or publisher.

This is just as good as Cavalcade!

For some reason i like hearing about the day to day aspect of this family. I felt their struggle with that first winter and just how back breaking and draining starting off can be. I was excited when the cabin was finished and they could have a roof over their heads. I was scared that Billy would not remember Erin and hurt her. This book had me from start to finish, and I can't wait for the others to come out so I can have them all and in the right order. I shed some tears at the end of the book and knew that it was an excellent book. Amy Deuchler did a fantastic job of narrating this book and Cavalcade. I hope that she will be narrating the rest of this series, having someone else do it would take away from the series. I would recommend this book to anyone who asks.

Great story of pioneering women

I loved this book and appreciated the author’s closing info about what happened to Molly and Erin

grew on me

This series grew on me. I'm glad we can follow the family tree after this. Loved the 2 main character and satisfied with the ending. I recommend listening to this book if you already got the first book. Finish the series trust me

Such an interesting listen

Picking up just where cavalcade leaves off this is an excellent story of Oregon settlers and their journey through life. The narration is great and the story leaves little to be desired. It’s a great listen worth the time for sure.

Better than the first

"I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review

I enjoyed the story better than the first story. I like seeing how the family progressed with our Homestead wants to hit Oregon. I would’ve liked to seen a little more trials and tribulations that they went through and said of just the neighbors but overall it was a good story

3.5 stars

I listened to the first story Cavalcade and really enjoyed it. This one was good but not as engaging. I was not as committed to this story. I’m glad I listened to it because it set the stage for the other Vetted books. Narrator was very good. I could tell who was speaking and she did a great job conveying the characters emotions. I would definitely listen to another book by this author.
