Although this book was a bit slow in starting, once it finally got going, I rather enjoyed it. It is the story of a young girl who is forced by her cold and distant mother to travel West with a family she does not trust. She knows she is expected to marry the son, and she is afraid to because he is such a vile person. On the other hand, she is afraid not to, because she doesn't know what would become of his infant daughter (the child's mother has just died). She makes many discoveries about herself and her history, some of which were rather obvious, though others were very surprising. Some twists were a bit too coincidental to be believable, but the book certainly doesn't end the way the reader expects. I would recommend this book to those who enjoy pioneer romances, because, although the book did not really suit my own taste, it was good for what it was.
