Weird intro for a review - As a child who grew up in the 80s and early 90s, I learned to type in middle school and during typing class we played Oregon trail. This book is a fictional tale - minus them headed to Idaho instead of Oregon!
Ok, now that we have the weird intro out of the way, let me tell you what I thought about the book. Ruth was a great character, although I couldn't imagine her devotion to her husband, but with the time and her religion, I grew to understand and appreciate her blind devotion to her husband's plan for the family. The things she went through were beyond belief - no spoilers, but man oh man, this journey was far from easy.
