Promiseland: The Journal of Callie McGregor Series, Book 1

Peronally, I have never read the entire book of Ms.Dawn Miller's, but my mother has and she told great concepts about Dawn's novels, and it has encouraged me to try and read the whole story again. My mother is not a big "story reader", but this particular novel stuck to her like glue! And she is starting to read it again.(As well as I.)I would STRONGLY encouraged you to purchase this novel or another of her's, because this particular author really touches deep into your heart.Thank you Ms.Dawn Miller!

It has been a few months since I read this one, but I am extremely interested in Ms. Miller's description of the 1800s and life there; it's just a plus that she writes about a Christian woman who maintains her beliefs throughout the hard life that the "old west" hands out. Thank you, Ms. Miller. I am patiently waiting for "Finding Grace".

Perhaps our "reviewer" in Dallas should do her homework before making such comments on authentic journal writing--comments that appear more personal than educated. I would suggest her reading the writings of Elenor Pruit Stewart "Letters of a Woman Homesteader", a lively and very authentic tale of a young woman who lived during this time period.I myself was very impressed with Ms. Miller's writing--as well as the predominant message of family, hope and God threaded throughout the story. Realistic, touching and inspiring. I cannot wait to read more of her work!

Once again Dawn Miller has succeeded in drawing the reader into Callie's world, allowing us to live her joy, her pain, her love of her family and her faith. I've read all three of Ms Miller's novels and each one has surpassed the one before. Her characters are incredibly real, their experiences harrowing, their disappointments and fears frightening, their joy and laughter exhilarating, their love neverending, and their faith boundless. The reader truly feels Callie's emotions. Ms Miller is an exceptional writer and doesn't get the credit she deserves.
