This was a wonderful book that captured my attention from the beginning. I was not able to put the book down and was transported back in time to a life that consisted of real friends, real feelings and real challenges. The book is well written and can have you moved from modern times to 1910 Idaho in a matter of minutes. I highly recommend this book!

This story set in Idaho in 1910 shows wonderful depth of young peoples lives, the friendship and love shared, their courage and survival through most treacherous conditions. A truly engaging novel that I could not put down. Highly recommended.
An Amazing, Gripping Story

I could not have told you one thing about Idaho before I read this book. Not only do I have a fresh insight into a little known state, I have a knowledge of what life was like in 1910 when so many lives were changed. You just want to be there with the families, be a part of that life when adults were respected, and love was innocent still. You rarely see friendship based soley on companionship the way it was with Drew, Ollie and the gang. It made me long for that for my own life as well as for my children. The book just held me and pulled me right into the lives of these small town families. I would recommend this book to anyone who misses reading a piece of real literature. This is the real thing!
