The Diary of Mattie Spenser by Sandra Dallas
3.0

I enjoyed this book. Very quick read. I wish you could give it 1/2 stars as I would really give it 3 1/2. Mattie Spenser is a new bride who moves West with her husband to Colorado. I love pioneer stories. The boook is told through Mattie's diary which she wrote crisscross. She would write over her text in by turning the page a quarter to both save paper and keep her secrets. Definitely not a romanticized version of Prairie life.
