"A solid, unabashed piece of writing that glows with authenticity." --Minneapolis Star Tribune"Barr has drawn on women's diaries from the Old West to bring detail to this unusual romance.  The result is an intriguing story, sensitive and authentic-sounding, and far different from what is usually considered a Western novel." --The Miami Herald"The novel...is tender and gentle in its exploration of commitment between two women, especially in days when females were expected to live out their narrow lives doing exhausting work and obeying their husbands." --St. Paul Pioneer Press Dispatch
