This is the first book in a triology by Mary Jane Auch about a young girl moving with her family from Connecticut to the "Genese country" in Western New York. I think that this is the best of the three. It is a compelling, dramatic, touching, and at times humorous, action-packed story. I half expected it to be the boring "On-the-Oregon-trail" type story, and it wasn't at all. The writing was exceptional, the story line new and exciting, the characters real to the reader. I admire how she weaves in all the historical details into the characters, and you know from reading the afterward that she put a great deal of research into it. This book is a rare gem, highly recommended!
