The basic concept of this plot may seem far fetched but, set in the harsh realities facing women in the mid 1800's added to the harsh realities facing early settlers of the West, this is quite plausible and is an interesting spin away from the predictable.  Both brothers are drawn deeply. They have suffered common and individual struggles and we grow to care more and more about them as the story progresses. Graison has more difficulty giving her main women characters believable difficult situations.  With some exceptions, they seem motivated by more shallow struggles which are self involved.  But, the story holds the reader's interest and we understand and care a great deal about all of them at the end.  I like that some issues weren't obvious and were revealed toward. Predictable is not very interesting. The author pulled the reader along. Nice job.
