Interesting little book for a break from the craziness of the last one. Pioneers, indians (good and bad), the whole nine yards of goodness! :) Not sure I would read the rest in the series, except that there are different authors who wrote the different books, so that may tempt me at some time. But I also have over 400 books on my paperwhite, plus the paperbacks here crying for attention.
Thomas Bledsoe and Kate Gruener are traveling the Wilderness Road when conflicts between natives and settlers reach a peak that will require each of them to tap into a well of courage. In 1794, when Kate Gruener's father is ready to move the family farther west into the wilderness to farm untouched land, Kate is eager to live out her own story of adventure like he did during the War for Independence and to see untamed lands. And she sets her sights on learning more about their scout, Thomas Bledsoe. Thomas's job is to get settlers safely across the Kentucky Wilderness Road to their destination while keeping an ear open for news of Shawnee unrest. But naïve Kate's inquisitive nature could put them both in the middle of a rising tide of conflict. Is there more to Thomas's story than he is willing to tell? Is there an untapped courage in Kate that can thwart a coming disaster? (picture and description from Amazon)
I have about 3 weeks left before reading Christmas books so I'm trying to decide what book to squeeze in before I start on my book club book. I got a great new non-fiction book, but I'm not sure I'm feeling that just yet.
Keep reading!
