review 1: This book has great character development and good writing - but it read like an expanded short story. The main storyline should have been a subplot in a much bigger story. The entire book could have been one episode in a TV series. But... whatever. I read it because it took place on Troublesome Creek - which is more or less where I live. I like the names she chose for her characters; they sound a lot like some of my neighbors' names.
review 2: This fifth book in the Troublesome Creek series was a nice “vacation book”. Nothing too heavy, yet thoroughly enjoyable. The author provides good character development and an easy-going plot. The book summary is a bit misleading because the train scene doesn’t happen until about 2/3 of the way through the book. But... more thinking about the book as a whole, I think it’s as good a synopsis as any because the story mostly just meanders through the three main characters’ lives; Copper, Lilly, and Manda. I did not know when I started reading it that it was in a series, but it didn’t make that much of a difference. I plan on reading the other ones now that I know because I think they will add depth of character and the book was a nice light read. I give this book a 4 stars. Light, engaging, and good characters.Disclosure of Material Connection: I received this book free from Tyndale House Publishing as part of their book review bloggers program.
