Loved this book. One of the librarians handed it to me. Once I read the jacket I realized it was the author as Girl with a Pearl Earring which I loved. Had no idea how many books she had written in between. Love a strong female character, and in this case how she watches over the girl even when she's not wanted.
This was an incredible story of a woman who walked across America leaving from Spokane in the 1890's. Her story was lost until recently. I loved her spirit and can't believe what she did. Besides having 9 children, she survived the elements, poverty, and showed spirit in the sufferage movement, and through out her life. I think this would make a great bookclub book, so much to discuss about her life experiences. I just happened upon the book and really surprised how much I enjoyed her story.
