I loved this book.  The characters were believable and I could admire Mallory as a pragmatic teenager who had to grow up fast.  She had dreams, but didn’t let them hold her back from accepting hard facts.  She’s the type to attract honest and equally realistic friends.  When she’s forced to marry in order to stay with the wagon train, she asks for advice and is smart enough to accept it.  I liked that this girl was always true to herself and didn’t compromise the ethics she was raised with.  I look forward to reading more by this author.  This isn’t that long a book, so great for a weekend.
