It's been awhile since I've read the Reardon Valley series. I really enjoy this author and don't know why I've waited so long to read another of her books. What drew me to this series was that it takes place soon after the Revolutionary War. I haven't read much of the late 1700's and first settlements to the west of the original colonies, though I've read quite a bit of wagon trains heading west beyond the Mississippi to Texas and beyond or northwestern area.
Annie is a true frontierswoman if there ever was one. Hard working, never complaining, not realizing her own worthiness. Ike is determined to leave her at the first settlement possible, but by that time she is too much of an asset to the wagon train, plus, he begins to have feelings for her. The other members of the wagon train had varied personalities, some likeable, some not so likeable. If you enjoy a Daniel Boone type adventure, then you will like this book.
