Welcome to Litsy!

I am baffled by the grit of the women who ventured out west in search for a better life. Their determination is astounding.

May Book 9/25 #LitsyLove

I don‘t typically read westerns, but I wanted to give them a shot. This book about a group of women going west was a great intro to the genre. The description of the hardships and all they did without made me wonder at all we have today. Interesting read.

This is another good read by this author. Although the tales of women traveling in cover wagons has been done before, this book stands out with characters and prose. I wanted it to be longer and more detailed, but that is because I felt like I was one of the sisterhood and didn‘t want to leave them when the book ended. And it is a #tearjerker for #readwithmrbook. @MrBook

I am the lone thumbs down on Litsy so far for this book. Once it moved into the pilgrimage west, I became irritated with several issues. It was choppy, I couldn't connect with the characters the way I wished to and I didn't understand why almost every man in the book was pure evil.

I really wanted to love this. More detail in my review here: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/2925282932

Binge read this today! Comes out Jan 7th. Enjoyable tale about a wagon train of women headed to California in the 1850s.

My first Sandra Dallas book, and an easy 5⭐️ from me. Stories set in the era of the Westward Expansion are my favorite. A wagon trail with 44 women, one child, and two ministers go to California in order to find husbands among the gold miners. These women are strong and determined characters. I LOVED the settings, all points along the Overland Trail. I feel so connected to this story. So good!

Releases Jan 2020. Thanks to NetGalley & St Martin‘s!

I *cannot* resist a frontier book!!

Forty-four women, two male preachers, and one child leave Chicago in a wagon train and head west in order to find husbands in California.

I‘ve only read a chunk of this one so far, but it is SO GOOD. #currentlyreading #netgalley

This is an excellent read! 5 ⭐ on Goodreads!! I have been in a major mood to read a Pioneer story lately so I was so happy to receive this one via Netgalley! If you're a fan of historic fiction and strong women consider adding this one to your list!
