Walk on Earth a Stranger

I really enjoyed this book. I felt like the characters were really well fleshed out and I felt like I really knew who they were and what motivated them. This book is definitely a journey, it follows Lee (Leah) as she travels to California during the Gold Rush. You could really tell Rae Carson took the time to thoughtfully research all aspects of the journey and made it realistic.

This book has very little romance which I also appreciated. It was a focus on female empowerment and Leah taking charge in her life and not letting any man make decisions for her.
