The delightful part of this story is Alice's spirit, humor, and the love she bears for "My dearest Ben." Alice was a bit ahead of her time in her insistence on equal respect and an equal voice in the marriage, and Ben supported her strongly - to his credit. There is sorrow, too, and she loses children both to death and to mental illness. She and Ben have much to weather, within and without the family, and they bear it with love, strength, and faith.
A well-written portrait of life on the frontier. Recommended.… (altro)
