Promise of the Valley

I really enjoyed this book. It does start out slow and on the boring side. But quickly turns into a very interesting story. Once I got past the "slow" part I could not put this book down. It has all of the things that the west should have- love, romance, and a very interesting story between it all. I thought it was quite interesting how people from different areas and social classes have such different ways of expressing themselves. With Abbie biting her tongue so often, I did not think that she would have one left by the end of the story. I was disappointed in the fact that this book (book 2) did not have any connection with book one, since it is a series. But still, I am looking forward to book 3.
