This was my first Christian book and I truly enjoyed it. It is well written, easy to read, and just an enjoyable book. I've seen the movie and the book is so much better!!

I loved the movie....but I could NOT read this book. The dialogues were so hard to read. I know the author was trying to capture the nuances of the speech of that time...but it was so distracting. I didn't even finish it.

A very good book as all of Oke's books are.
different cover - same book
Nineteen year old Marty Claridge starts west with her adventurous, boyish husband, Clem, seeking to claim land and hoping for good fortune. But when the venture turns suddenly to tragedy, Marty is left alone with her loss. And coupled with her grief and heartache is the grim reality that there is no way to return home......
A great endearing book!!! A must read!!!!
