This is an excellent historical book, Based on a true story. These are books the guy in my house enjoyed also so are not just fiction for women but books even a man can read and be satisfied with.

Jane Kirkpatrick is a very gifted Award winning author and I have enjoyed every book of hers I have read. History comes alive as you read the pages of her books. She does an wonderful job of fleshing out historical facts She also includes historical notes and a list of suggested readings for further research if you desire to learn more.

This is the first in a series of three and I would highly suggest reading them in order. They are books you will read and learn from.

Her blog is worth visiting: http://www.janekirkpatrick.blogspot.com/

A wonderful historical tale based on a true story. One woman struggles to keep her family together - and alive during the fur-trapping era of the early 1800's. A story of great courage!
