A Distance too Grand, Regina Scott. (Book Review)

About the book:

When a spunky photographer wrangles her way onto an 1871 survey crew of the Grand Canyon she thinks nothing can stand in her way. But her mind changes when she finds out she'll be working alongside the one man she doesn't want to fall in love with.

My thoughts: 5/5 stars 

A mysterious and intriguing air kept me turning pages in this book.
A romance between a broken hearted man and a woman with no re idea of love made my heart swoon.
The cast of characters in Scott's A Distance too Grand were all interesting and added to the story in their own way.
 This is the first time I've been introduced to Scott's writing and I must say, I was very pleased with the meeting.
Her stories are told in a simple, yet beautiful way. Her flowery descriptions were just enough to send my heart aflutter.
   Scott set the scene in the wilds of Arizona perfectly. I felt I was riding a horse in the rocky terrain next to Ben and Meg myself.
I believe Regina Scott stories and I will meet again and again.

 My thoughts: 5/5


This beautiful collection of stories told by people in all different stages of life whom were all changed by the majestic beast we call horse touched my heart. 
    There were so many inspiring stories and some that broke a little piece of my heart.
 These stories made me realize just how connected we humans are. Something as simple as a horse uniting people at the heart confirms they're not so simple after all. 
  I was touched by each story told and was very blessed to read this uplifting book.

One More River to Cross, Jane Kirkpatrick. (Book Review)

About the book:

 In 1844, two years before the Donner Party, the Stevens-Murphy company left Missouri to be the first wagons into California through the Sierra Nevada Mountains. Mostly Irish Catholics, the party sought religious freedom and education in the mission-dominated land and enjoyed a safe journey--until October, when a heavy snowstorm forced difficult decisions. The first of many for young Mary Sullivan, newlywed Sarah Montgomery, the widow Ellen Murphy, and her pregnant sister-in-law Maolisa.

When the party separates in three directions, each risks losing those they loved and faces the prospect of learning that adversity can destroy or redefine. Two women and four men go overland around Lake Tahoe, three men stay to guard the heaviest wagons--and the rest of the party, including eight women and seventeen children, huddle in a makeshift cabin at the headwaters of the Yuba River waiting for rescue . . . or their deaths.

Award-winning author Jane Kirkpatrick plunges you deep into a landscape of challenge where fear and courage go hand in hand for a story of friendship, family, and hope that will remind you of what truly matters in times of trial.

 My thoughts: 2/5 stars

 I immediately grabbed this book because 1) It's by Jane Kirkpatrick; 2) the history! 😍

This book definitely did not lack in the history department. I was soo intrigued by this true story of travelers. 
  But this book did, however, lack in compelling, lovable characters...... I didn't like any of them. 
Actually, I disliked many of them thoroughly  

The story was good, the writing was off. 
The book just wasn't as amazing as I'd expected. 

It became boring very quickly and I did not want to finish it.
