This is a tender tale of twin sisters who are coming of age in 1873 West Virginia. They are identical in appearance, but very different underneath. Their differences finally cause a rift that makes one do something drastic, affecting the whole family. A good picture of redemption, forgiveness and reconciliation in this story. A squeaky clean romance with faith elements. 3.5 stars
The second story is a fun one, set twenty years later in Wyoming, with a family connection to the first. The cousins have a good brother-sister relationship, leading to a dare and subsequent events that bring big changes in their lives. I really enjoyed this story of adventure, danger, and a gentle romance begun through letters. Building on the first story also made it feel more like a complete novel. Plenty of faith discussions put this firmly in the inspirational fiction genre. Very uplifting! Recommend!
