A genuine joy to read

This book was such a blessing to read and enjoy via audio format. I’m so glad I did. Don’t read it expecting the television series. Enjoy it on its own and independently. The television series builds up the town characters far more than a book could unless it was thousands of pages long. However I’m an under 40
old who loved this book!

Fun

Great story. Loved to feel the emotions of the first pioneers. They are strong people. Even though it is fiction it feels very real.
