Just finished this book and would definitely recommend.  I won't repeat the story as other reviewers have given a good idea of what it's actually about.  But, I will expound on the fact that it was a cleanly written book, no sex and depicts very believable experiences that the pioneer's must have came up against on their travels to the western frontier.  It sure makes you wonder why the women in particular were brave enough to even try it.  Towards the end of the journey it seemed as if Delly was going to totally give up and being in her place I think I might have just sat down in the middle of it all and quit.  I enjoyed the fact that the people were not strangers to asking God for help and even though there was only a few references to this it did bring to light that without their faith in God they might not have made it.If you enjoy traveling back to the very beginning of our country's growth and expansion you will like reading this book as it makes you feel as if you are right in the midst of it.  The people you'll meet along the way become very real and you'll definitely fall in love with Zeke.  He's a charmer.
