Review: Lots of Character Growth
Rating: 4 out of 5

Risa is a young girl in California in the early nineteenth century, running from her betrothal, with her sometimes difficult younger brother. They wind up in Nevada, where Risa learns to break horses from a ranch foreman and discovers herself as she comes of age. While I enjoyed Risa's growth as a character, there were parts of her personality that were difficult to like. A page-turner about the old west with unique characters and a rich setting.
