I found this book very entertaining. The mystery surrounding the Breckenship family was one that kept me turning pages. The characters are 'real' in the sense that I felt connected to them, wanting to help. The descriptions of scenery were so vivid I could smell the wildflowers and fresh water of the streams.If I have one complaint, it is the ending of the book. I felt as if I'd been torn from one story, dumped into another, and didn't know who any of the characters were or how they fit. In my opinion, it would have been better to leave off with the characters we'd grown to know and then start a new book with their descendants, explaining them in detail.I do recommend this book and plan to read the next in the series. This book reminds me of old legends passed around a warm campfire.  The author has a wonderful talent for story-telling!
