A Light in the Wilderness

I love this book cover. The book cover portrays so much. From the solid yellow tones, the the grasses underfoot and even the hands holding the skirts and basket. So much is told from these images. In recent years a trend seems to be of a crop before showing a face and I love that, especially in examples such as this because it allows the imagination so much more.

Often in this genre, Christian Historical Fiction, I find that one book is on a particular character and then a trilogy is made with each sequel being from another main character's point of view. But in this book it starts out being split and alternating between views telling three very different yet interwoven stories. I've read plenty of the wagon train female headed west and quite a few of the Native American Indian character, but this is still one within a handful that I have read from the perspective of former black slave.

This was interesting, and I love the stories based on truth, but I do think I'm one of the few people that is just not enthralled with Jane's writing. I find myself continuously coming back as she picks fabulous topics and plot lines to write about, yet sometimes a sad overall story just doesn't enrapture me the most.
