review 1: Kentucke Territory 1779. This book takes place during the war with the French. Dangerous Indians lurk about. Colonel Cassius McLinn has lost his home in Ireland, and has been ordered to protect the area, far away from General Washington, and his own traitorous twin brother. Serving under Col McLinn is Roxanna Rowan’s beloved father, whom she hopes to surprise at the isolated fort. Her father serves as Scrivener to the Colonel and is well respected there. Roxanna barely makes it to the fort alive, and must wait many months before it is safe to even consider leaving. In the beginning, that seems unthinkable, but she develops bonds with the people within its walls. While I did enjoy much of the details about the war, what grew tiresome, by about page 300 of 406, was ... moreRoxanna’s mistrust and lack of insight, and woe-is-me attitude. It dragged on and on and on.Usually, I am excited to write a review, but not so much in this case.2 out of 5 starsThings that are included: n/aI purchased this copy and opinions are my own.© 2011 Revell BooksRead: 6/1/2014Reviewed: 6/14/2014
review 2: This book was intense in the drama and the problems the characters face. I kept wondering how everything would be resolved -if it would be resolved -and at the same time I enjoyed every minute of the book. You can't help but ache for the characters and the trials they face. I loved the Christian theme woven throughout the book, and the realistic experiences that these early settlers faced every day in that time period. less
