Healing Journey

This is a new author to me and a new series that has me already wanting more please. A heartbreaking but tender tale of life on a wagon train in 1753 along with the hazards and the joys. I can’t imagine the grueling hours each day to only cover approximately ten miles. Daniel is not readily accepted by others as he is of mixed race. Being half Cherokee doesn’t matter to Rose and her Irish immigrant family as they befriend him. Jealousy and gossip comes into play over circumstances that can’t be controlled that force a marriage. The tragedy that strikes immediately afterwards is heart wrenching and as we travel with them on a different journey than they had planned we will see God has His hand upon them. The romance is tender, some scenes are nail biting and through it all we have Tsiyi, Daniel’s dog that becomes the hero of the story on more than one occasion. I loved the patient, kind, tender, and man of faith that Daniel is and the strength that Rose has is remarkable. A wonderful, well written story that I truly enjoyed. I received a complimentary copy from CelebrateLit. The honest review and opinions are my own and were not required.
