Tracie is Amanzing

Ribbons of steal is a wonderful story with unforgetible characters. I fell in love this this series and can't wait to read the next book.

Intriguingly suspenseful, page turner

Distant Dreams is a wonderful book. I liked how it was not your usual romance. You had to deal with the society's rules of the time. I admire Carolina for her tenacity. I'm reading the second book now. Like I said, I like how it's not your usual romance, it doesn't turn out how you expect. I highly recomend it to everyone.

The Book was compelling. I had trouble putting it down.

The time frame was interesting and the facts on the railroad opened my eyes to some things I hadn't thought of befor. I enjoyed the antics of a large family and the characters were easy to empathized with. I would have liked the charaters to have more christian depth, but I'm hopeful that Carolina will have a personal relationship to God in the next book of this series.
