Another good story in the life of Hannah Cooper and her family in the town of Fort Bridger, set in the 1800s. This book is just a continuation of the other stories in this series, so I highly recommend reading them in the order written. This story brought in some new characters that I haven't met before, which made the story even more interesting.

Julianna LeCroix is heading to Idaho from New Orleans with her baby daughter Larissa. She doesn't want to be traveling there, but her husband has died and her lawyers were crooks who took all her money so she must go and live with her in-laws. On the way West she will "kind of" be kidnapped by Jack Bower, a drifter who is running from some men who want to kill him. You will also meet Jacob who has come West to name a living. But that is another story within this story. As usual, I enjoyed my time getting to know these folks and keeping up with the Cooper family. Time goes by fast as I am reading, and I am always anxious to begin the next story in this series. ( )
