review 1: This was a free kindle read and it wasn't horrible but just not my kind of read. I gave it three stars because I felt like those who enjoy Christian fiction would like this one thereby it has potential.Not only a Christian fiction, this read is also a historical fiction. Maggie is born, one of triplets, on a wagon train headed to Oregon. Her mother dies in childbirth and her father, unable to care for three babies gives her and one sibling up for adoption. Her parents hide the truth from her and this leads to all kinds of issues. The characters do tend to be a bit two dimensional but not off-putting. The time period that this is set in is certainly interesting and of course there is a bit of a love triangle thrown in for good measure. What I liked most about this read was ... morethe aspect of the adoption. The issues involved and the decisions that go along with it transcend generations. They are the same then as now and likely to be so in the future. I didn't like that it tended to be a bit preachy. I know that its Christian fiction but I think it went a bit overboard. But maybe I feel that way because I'm not a big fan of the genre.I think this would be a good read for anyone that does like Christian fiction, or very clean romance.
review 2: An exceptional historical story of two women. Florence is a woman struggling with a lie she has kept for years concerning her adopted daughter. Its a love story between her and her husband as well. With the love of God and each other the couple can overcome any trial and strengthen their relationship with one another. Maggie is struggling to find herself and her place in this world. The author briefly touches on the bond between twins. Maggie also shares the joy and adventure of new love. I love the way the author shows both the ladies and their stages of love.I thoroughly enjoyed reading and look forward to reading the rest of the series. less
