Whoops! Another forgotten review... I need to get out of this bad habit! So, I read this a couple months ago, and have a few impressions from the memory that stand out a bit more than others.
—1. Sarah starts out as a willful girl, but reason is given from her circumstances. She is headstrong but manages to be engaging at the same time,
—2. She does not want to put others before herself, but she does anyway. Good portrayal of her character.
—3. The young men who make up the household where she and her aunt take shelter are entirely too handsome, too responsible, and yet too eager to pound each other if accused of being sweet on pretty Sarah.
—4. Sarah and her future mother-in-law are my favorite characters.
—5. The ending was rushed and needed to be explained a wee bit better.
In all, a pleasant frontier adventure set in Kansas in an imaginary way-station inspired by a real one.
