A delightful romantic sojourn through the western U.S., specifically special (to me) places in Arizona and Colorado. The story may be somewhat formulaic, but it works, by golly...it works. Zeke and Mattie are well-fleshed characters created by a talented writer. I enjoyed the book very much.I only have one complaint: At location 1680 (or thereabouts), Mattie begins to sing "Oh, What a Beautiful Morning" and the author attributes it to the film, "Song of the South." 'Tain't so! That was one of the songs from "Oklahoma!" by Rodgers and Hammerstein. I am surprised Ms. Samuel didn't catch that one. Perhaps she was thinking of "Zip-A-Dee-Doo-Dah" which is from "Song of the South."
