I read the back and decided to throw it on my shelf not always so interested in sad books. I read through my stash and finally decided to, reluctantly, give All Together in One Place a try. Well, for someone that cherishes happy books(life is sad enough) I LOVED this book!! Now one of my favorites and often recommended. Jane Kirkpatrick shines in this true to life tale of the American wagon train. You will weep with the characters, while most importantly celebrating their triumphs. God is always in charge and will shine a light in the darkest of places. ( ) Interesting, but not riveting.... I enjoyed this book. It was a slow read, because it contained a LOT of detail. Though it may not have been accurate in all repects, it gave me a feel for what if might have been like to strike out to the unknown and settle our land. Imagine....clean water is not always available....no shelter from the elements...either extreme heat OR wicked storms...no running to the store when the wagon breaks down....abandon some of your most prized possesions by the side of the road in order to survive. And of course, in the book as well as in our history of westward expansion, many did NOT survive! It gave me a new appreciation for my ancestors and the courage it must have taken to move from the known to the unfamiliar. Though I didn't find the book riveting, it was worth reading, and I look forward to continuing the saga. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

A loving marriage, a well-organized home, the pleasure of planting an early spring gardenâ??these are the carefully-tended dreams that sustain her heart and nourish her soul. But when her husband of two years sells the homestead and informs her that they are heading west, Mazy's life is ripped down the middle like a poorly mended sheet forgotten in a midwestern storm. Her love is tried, her boundaries stretched, and the fabric of her faith tested. At the same time, she and eleven extraordinary women are pulled toward an uncertain destinyâ??one that binds them together through reluctance and longing and into acceptance and re Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |
