I really enjoyed this book, but it is not an easy read (or listen) ... definitely not for the faint-of-heart. I am pretty sure I'd last about 2 minutes out there on the trail west. Those people faced more hardships that we can even imagine and this story brought a lot of that to life. More than once I wanted to cry along with the characters for the things they were having to endure. If you can handle the occasional descriptions of violence, blood and gore (there is also one rape scene), and the occasional language, I would recommend this very moving story. I think I will read other titles by this author in the future.
