My Review:
Seriously, any book by Kimberley Woodhouse is going to be worth reading. She is SO good at writing historical fiction that’s heart-touching and full of faith. This is another good book in this series and another intriguing story by Kimberley Woodhouse.
I loved learning more about the Pony Express and its brief, but important, time in the history of the United States. These characters were great and the author drew me into the story through them. There’s a strong theme of forgiveness which gives the story an inspirational purpose. You do not need to have read the rest of the books in this series to enjoy this one.
I received a copy of this book from the publisher. All opinions are my own.
