Looking for a new book to read - you won’t regret this one!

I love reading books from new authors I stumble upon and am so lucky I found this author. This book captures your attention upon reading the first chapter transporting back to 1933 where Piper defies her father’s wishes to marry the first eligible bachelor at her debutante. Piper gets the opportunity to volunteer as a horseback courier with the Frontier Nurses in the Appalachian Mountains an adventure “a society girl” would never dream of going, and takes the reader along her amazing adventures and at the end finding true love

Historical Fiction

This is a Historical fiction/Romance. This book took place in 1933 during the Great Depression. The main character Piper has to make a big decision in this book to either make her father happy or follow her heart. She decides volunteers as a frontier nursing courier in the Appalachian Mountains, so she will have time to think it out. I really loved this book, and I loved the characters. I felt the characters and the animals in this book pulled me right into the story. I received an ARC of this book. This review is my own honest opinion about the book like all my reviews are.
