I'd Sooner Have Love

Short book (130 pages) dealing with the settling of Guthrie, Oklahoma.
I liked the storyline and the characters.
Things that would have earned it another star: a bit more in-depth feel of the settling of the town (whole weeks got skipped over...being a history lover, I like plenty of authenticity to the scenes...this felt sometimes like I wasn't quite there. Also, a good go-over by a final editor. There was some missing punctuation, a few run-on sentences, and a couple of wrong verb tenses.
Otherwise, a sweet and pleasant short read.
