A bit too romance novel for my liking but the historical facts and living in the area that it all took place over-shadowed the negative. A story of strength and courage in the early days of of our nation.
This is Eugenia Price's inspiring story of a unique American heroine-a woman whose strength and resourcefulness overcame every obstacle to survival in an untamed and turbulent land as is struggled for independence. Maria is a true pioneer, hardworking, valiant, self-reliant. But she is also a vibrant, flesh and blood woman, tempestuous in passion, steadfast in love
These are very simple reading.
I thought perhaps it might be more appropriate for a girl age 14 and above, however, it was entertaining.
