I am looking forward next book in Hearts Seeking Home Series.I borrowed this book from library and review is my own.
review 2: rairie Song was a refreshing novel in topic that I have not read about: Traveling West after the Civil War. The last time that I really rememb... moreer reading any books concerning travels that pioneers like Mona wrote about might have made is back in middle school! She did a good job in slowly drawing me into the characters and the travel itself!It was heartbreaking to see the pain and loss that the main female characters had endured in the beginning of this novel, but it was also heart warming to see these young woman heal and be able to love again. I felt that I could easily bond with Anna having a close family member battle with alcoholism because I did too a few years ago. I can't go far as to say that I felt I had to "police" this family member as she called it, but having to deal with the doubt and fear was always a struggle within me during that time. It was also interesting how Mona included Caleb's story in being once an alcoholic too, but now a man who would not touch another drop of liquor. His story pierced my heart in him not feeling forgiven, despite that God said He already has forgiven him. I was surprised however at how fast Caroline and Garrett's attraction grew. I felt it was slightly rushed for me, but I did not feel that way about Anna and Caleb's relationship. I'm unsure why I felt this way since both of their stories are very similar in how they met the other and how that attraction grew to love.The overall journey that the Boone's Lick Company Wagon Train took was amazing. I couldn't imagine having to deal with a bear, a thief, or even Indians who could have been violent! Mona definitely transported me back in time while they traveled along the land and was very descriptive how everyday life might have been!In concluding the story, Prairie Song had some pleasant and not so pleasure surprises as well as times that left me giggling and tearing up! I will be waiting (and impatiently if I might add) for the next novel in this series because I want to see how these pioneers journey continues!I received for free from Water Brook Multnomah in exchange for an honest review! (Thank you so much for allowing me to read it) less
