Despite the lack of steam, I adored Eddy and Rhine's story. Like the previous Beverly Jenkins I read, this story is rooted in history, and she does such a good job of immersing you in it, while also showing both the good and the bad of post-Construction Western America. The community is really the heart of this story, how people come together to be good in all sorts of ways. I only wanted more!!
