About the book:
Letitia holds nothing
more dear than the papers that prove she is no longer a slave. They may
not cause white folks to treat her like a human being, but at least they
show she is free. She trusts in those words she cannot read–as she is
beginning to trust in Davey Carson, an Irish immigrant cattleman who
wants her to come west with him.
Nancy Hawkins is loathe to leave her
settled life for the treacherous journey by wagon train, but she is so
deeply in love with her husband that she knows she will follow him
anywhere–even when the trek exacts a terrible cost.
Betsy is a
Kalapuya Indian, the last remnant of a once proud tribe in the
Willamette Valley in Oregon territory. She spends her time trying to
impart the wisdom and ways of her people to her grandson. But she will
soon have another person to care for.
As season turns to season,
suspicion turns to friendship, and fear turns to courage, three spirited
women will discover what it means to be truly free in a land that makes
promises it cannot fulfill.
My thoughts:
I am very sad to say that I didn't care for this book at all. It started out very confusing with Letitia talking about a cow that she had purchased, but there was no back story about her or the cow, and it didn't get any better. I really wanted to enjoy the book, but I didn't.
