Bittersweet is an overused word, but it truly describes this novel. Heart-rending and honest about the realities of life on the frontier and without modern medicine. My only criticism is that while Abby had time to heal, the author didn't quite manage to bring the reader from grief to joy as effectively. I sat down with this book 2.5 hours ago, finished it 10 minutes ago, and am just now done crying.Wow.
