Cavalcade

Publisher's Summary

Molly didn't know what kind of life to expect when she fell in love with Erin Herriot - her schoolmate, her best friend, and a woman. She had been grateful for Erin's friendship when the bank swindled her after selling her parents' farm and she was invited to live on Erin's parents' farm.   

After making the difficult decision to live life as ‘man and wife,' Molly gladly accepted the challenges before them. Together, they made the decision to sell Erin's farm and embark on the journey of a lifetime...on the Oregon Trail. Erin couldn't give Molly children; however, she could love her forever.  

But leaving the area where they had both grown up and where everyone knew the women was the only way they could be together without questions about the true nature of their relationship.   

Come along on their adventure as two women cross the country, adopt a family, and begin a life that neither had imagined possible growing up in the mid-1800s.

Keeps you hooked!

I wasn’t sure about this one in the beginning, it was a little harder to draw me in, but once it did I was hooked. It’s a great story of a family traveling the Oregon trail. (Made me want to go back and play the computer game!) The characters were interesting and the story was easy to follow. The narration was good, the many different characters were easily distinguished. With most audio books there is still a little background noise, this one did not have as much as most, but listening through earbuds or a car stereo it was noticeable. Overall it was a great listen!

Excellent!

I loved Cavalcade. I love the setting in the old west or should I say new west? Basically uncharted territory. Molly and Erin are fabulous. You think your life is tough today? Read this book and find out how tough life really was. I can’t wait for the rest of the series on audio. Amy Deuchler did an excellent job with the narration.

Excellent book

I just finished this book and I have to say that I loved it. It had me from the start and didn't let go, totally sad that the end of the book had to come. But I am looking forward to the rest of the books in the series. The portrayal of what Erin had to go through to pass as being a man was fabulous and had it's moments of stress. You got the sense of how she had to be "stoic" almost all the time and that also took it's toll on her and on Molly. How the two of them managed to keep their marriage strong and loving in a time when most married couples didn't act like that. And with the added stress of being on the Oregon Trail and having 5 curious children. I would recommend this book to anyone who wants to read or listen to a great story.

A tough journey to a brighter future

A great little story about the trials and tribulations of traveling out in the old West to forge a life in a new home. Molly and Erin really get put through the wringer in their drive to start up a new life in Oregon. I enjoyed the day to day life and the challenges that they encounter in their journey. I liked just hearing the descriptions of their travel and the surrounding areas, it did well to take me to the time period. There is a lot to be liked here from romance to battles against nature and man, and the generally great relationships forged in the book. I haven't read the first book but thought this one did well to pull me in and let me follow it. The narration by Amy Deuchler was quite good and thought she did great with all the characters and pacing. I look forward to the continuing story of Molly and Erin.

Nice story from the past

I liked the historical storyline of this book. Characters were quite interesting. Living in the modern time one needs to switch their mind and think what it was like living 100 or 200 years ago. If you like old time stories, I would recommend this book for sure.

This is a wonderful and loving story...

This is a touching and endearing story of two people in love. In a time when their love could cost them everything including their lives, they hold on to each other and work together in order to stay together.
I have read a few of the author's shortstories and jump at the chance to listen to one of her audiobook and I was not disappointed.

The narrator did a great job at portraying the emotions of the characters and bringing their world to life in the spoken word. I kn ow I will listen to this audiobook again.

Wonderful Story

I loved the wonderful story and I loved the characters. I just thought the narrator was boring. I highly recommend the book and please remember this is just my opinion. Please listen for yourself. I just couldnt get passed on how bored she sounded.

Great Oregon Trail Story

I really enjoyed this story. I didn’t think I would enjoy it because I’m not too much into the old west stuff but I really enjoyed it. I like the narration on it she did a great job with the different voices.
