Amethyst

I couldn’t wait to open the book each time I could sit down and follow the story. Hearing how it was to live in those times in the past was amazing. Ms Snelling is a wonderful Christian author.

Great time period story

I liked that this book is sprinkled with genuine prayers. I intend to listen again and write them down for my own worship.

The story is great. I love this authors clean writing style. I just have difficulty with the narration.
The breathing, swallowing and lip smacking could be edited.

Romance and settling the west!

love the story based I on Christain values and a town where people care for each other. portrayal and descriptions of blizzard conditions and dangers frouniersman face are vivid and I found myself pulled into the story. the only problem I had was in performance. somehow voices didnt seem to fit characters. the WORSE thing is, this book was obviously compiled from cassette recordings and some instructions about fast forwarding and changing cassettes were not edited out and remain. I found them annoying and a. unwelcome intrusion in the story.
