This is the first book I have read by Andrea Byrd and I was excited to be on the launch team. I enjoyed this book and can't wait to read more from the Frontier Hearts series.
We meet Lucinda and William and follow them from Virginia through the Cumberland Gap into Kentucky during the winter of 1779.
Lucinda has been living a lonely life, hidden away from the world while living with only her father since her mother passed away years earlier. Sadly, her father has abused her and she thinks her life is of no worth and can't understand how anyone could care about her.
William saves her from a horrid fate and takes her with him on his journey with a multiude of others on the Wilderness Trail from Virginia to Kentucky in an attempt to make new lives for themselves. Even though he is seen as a hero and rescuer to Lucinda, he also has his secrets and feelings of unworthiness.
This story is full of heartache and danger, what with the harrowing terrain and fear of imminent attacks, but also full of faith and growth in Christ. There are secrets that need to be shared and opening up to each other. Needing to see the truth of their worth. Learning to trust fully in God.
I really loved seeing the relationship between Lucinda and William evolve.
Even though there were a host of side characters, we didn't really get to know most of them very well. And the ones we did get to know more about, weren't in the story for long. The book focused on Lucinda and William. I admit, there were some characters I wish we had learned a bit more about and would have gotten to know their fates.
I enjoyed this journey and really hope we get to see more of Lucinda and William in future books.
I received an ebook for free from the author as a part of the launch team and was not required to write a favorable review. These are my own, honest thoughts.
