Martha Conway's story about four sisters in Northwestern Ohio in the 19th century is a compelling and informative read. I not only learned about the times, and the intimate relations that the Quiner sisters had with other pioneers and native Americans, like the Potawatomi, but I was also enthralled with the narrative, which was well researched and beautifully written. It was a joy to read about that time in history, when dreamers were settling the Midwest. Especially when it's brought to you in such vivid detail. To write about nature, the outdoors, takes an incredible eye and an even more incredible writer to pull it off. And the heroine of the story, Susanna, is an engaging spirit, a woman with a lot of fire and heart. Highly recommend this novel.
