I really loved this book more than I thought I would. I don't usually read historical fiction but I dove in and couldn't wait to go deeper. I was surprised that there was more to it than just the struggles of the times. There was some mystery, intrigue and romance. I am looking forward to reading more of Ginny Aiken and her Women of Hope series.

Even though this book is a middle grade reader I found it very profound as a 52 year old mom. I felt for each character mentioned in the story and hoped for the best for them all.
