This story was absolutely enthralling. I love Amy’s writing and this was just as beautifully written as all her other books. It is heartwarming but also tragic and sheds light on a difficult and heartbreaking part of our history. I loved the sweet but passionate love story between Naomi and John Lowery. The Native American history is rich and the picture of the hardship of immigrants on the trail West was vivid. I listened on audio and loved both narrators. 

Content Notes: Vague open door romance, rape (vague, brief description), violence consistent for the time period/culture
