Catch a Falling Star

A Not So Peaceful Journey is a story of western travel rich in historical detail paired with characters who jumped right off the page. If you are looking for a book that will sweep you back into the 1880's, look no further. Sandra Merville Hart is a master historian. As I read A Not So Peaceful Journey, I could hardly stop shaking my head at the details Sandra included. This was not a five minute research job.

From tours through various train cars to frantic meals at lunch counters, interspersed with short tempers, arguments, and injured feelings, this was a story that gave a fresh look at western travel. The characters were a lot of fun, and the plot moved quickly even with all the historical details.

I thoroughly enjoyed reading about John and Rennie's journey and I'd recommend it for anyone who loves their novels with an extra dose of history.
