One of my favorite authors. A great many of her books have a #storysetting in the #prairie.

I really enjoyed reading how these characters lived as early settlers of the Colorado territory but this book needs a trigger warning for EVERYTHING. Jeeze Louise, the author put these poor characters through the wringer! So much drama and heartache that I literally shook the book when it was over. Now I have to send this to a friend to read so I'll have someone to rant about it with.😅

Reason #8690457 that Litsy is the best place:

Not 5 minutes after shelving this book from @Wife ‘s post, she had commented back at me, offering to send me the book! Now, less than a week later, it arrives in my mailbox. Thank you for the #bookmail and the kind card! #litsylove

This is like a gritty version of Little House. Written in diary form. For me, it really had the feels and it gets a very rare 4/5 ⭐️ from me. A quarter well spent at my library used book sale! I think very few women (or men) would be up for the challenge that pioneers faced back in the 1800‘s.

This is historical fiction. It was written in the form of the journal entries of a newly married woman who moved to Colorado Territory from Iowa. The story details some of the hardships involved in starting out in the frontier. The ending is kind of bittersweet. I enjoyed it and look forward to reading more from this author.

Bathtime for little one means more reading time for mommy! Haven't been able to read nearly as much as I'd thought or hoped, but I am into hour 10 somewhere. Enjoying this prairie diary more than I expected.
