A Claim of Her Own

At first it took a bit to get into this (including rereading the first two chapters more than once...there's absolutely no indication in chapter one that the bullwhacker Swede is a woman. The writing is vague in many ways.

However, I got interested in the story anyway, and soon was completely engrossed. The writing may not be perfect (at least the grammar is good!) but the story will most definitely tug at your heart. It is deeply Christian, which I love finding in a Christian book...many books that I read and enjoy are more inspirational than Christian, but this one has quite a message. Mattie is a plucky and understated type of heroine...and I loved all the side characters she did, too!
