Review: Wonderful story! Amy just did it AGAIN! - Sometimes, I have no words to describe a book I loved so much. And after finishing this book, I couldn’t describe it.This book is in his own class, and has his own place in my heart. In addition, the book entered the list of the best books I read this year. For me, reading a book "twice" is like I'll be abroad right now, but, it happens to me once in while... The last book that made me want to read it twice was four months ago. What does it mean? It's hard for me to disconnect from this book because it's so good that it left a mark on my heart. It’s hard for me to move on to the next book, and I want to start it again as soon as I'm done because I don't want to leave it. And I'm even happier that this happened to me with the author I love the most and admire her, her writing and her courage to write these books. Our journey begins in 1853 in the US. Naomi has never seen herself become a widow at the age of 20. The family embraces and supports her. Especially her mom. She sees her mother as a role model and admire her, She sees her as a smart, great woman, a figure to live by. 🛶 "𝓦𝓱𝓪𝓽 𝓱𝓸𝓹𝓮 𝓯𝓮𝓮𝓵𝓼 𝓵𝓲𝓴𝓮: 𝓽𝓱𝓮 𝓫𝓮𝓼𝓽 𝓪𝓲𝓻 𝓮𝓿𝓮𝓻 𝓫𝓻𝓮𝓪𝓽𝓱𝓮𝓭 𝓪𝓯𝓽𝓮𝓻 𝓽𝓱𝓮 𝔀𝓸𝓻𝓼𝓽 𝓯𝓪𝓵𝓵 𝓮𝓿𝓮𝓻 𝓽𝓪𝓴𝓮𝓷. 𝓘𝓽 𝓱𝓾𝓻𝓽𝓼." 🛶 Throughout the book, I came across situations that Naomi has made and she is simply amazing . To see her develop and grow to face all kinds of people who see her only as 'widow of...' and not as Naomi. It hurt me. And I've always felt as part of a side character who just wants to talk to Naomi and say “you're strong”. When her family decides to start moving elsewhere in the direction of California, she finds herself in a journey of life and death. Joy and sadness. Disasters and quarrels But, she never expected that on this journey she would fall in love again. John is a man who has always lived in both worlds.He was always in the middle of those worlds. He is half white on his father's side and half Indian on his mother's side. 🍂 “𝓘𝓽 𝓲𝓼. 𝓘𝓽 𝓲𝓼 𝓽𝓱𝓮 𝓼𝓾𝓯𝓯𝓮𝓻𝓲𝓷𝓰 𝓸𝓯 𝓵𝓸𝓿𝓮. 𝓔𝓿𝓮𝓻𝔂 𝓹𝓪𝓻𝓮𝓷𝓽 𝓯𝓮𝓮𝓵𝓼 𝓲𝓽. 𝓘𝓽 𝓲𝓼 𝓽𝓱𝓮 𝓼𝓾𝓯𝓯𝓮𝓻𝓲𝓷𝓰 𝓸𝓯 𝓫𝓮𝓲𝓷𝓰 𝓾𝓷𝓪𝓫𝓵𝓮 𝓽𝓸 𝓼𝓱𝓲𝓮𝓵𝓭 𝓸𝓻 𝓼𝓪𝓿𝓮. 𝓘𝓽'𝓼 𝓷𝓸𝓽 𝓵𝓸𝓿𝓮 𝓲𝓯 𝓲𝓽 𝓱𝓾𝓻𝓽𝓼. " 🍂 John's character has been through a lot. Try to imagine what it is like to have two worlds and live in them simultaneously. He has undergone a process of change, of acceptance. And the feeling of what it's like to be in love. Because he never knew 'true love' for a woman before . ❤ As he joins the journey to California, he meets Naomi with her red hair and bright green eyes. And he slowly begins to discover things about himself. Their journey taught them how to get to know each other together, And the two want to build a life together for themselves. But, when they get attacked in the middle of the journey. The families get separated, And Naomi sees John disappearing in front of her eyes the promise that they promised themselves was going to fade away. They will not be able to be together again. They could not live the life they wanted. 💚 “𝓣𝓱𝓮 𝓱𝓪𝓻𝓭𝓮𝓼𝓽 𝓽𝓱𝓲𝓷𝓰 𝓪𝓫𝓸𝓾𝓽 𝓵𝓲𝓯𝓮 𝓲𝓼 𝓴𝓷𝓸𝔀𝓲𝓷𝓰 𝔀𝓱𝓪𝓽 𝓶𝓪𝓽𝓽𝓮𝓻𝓼 𝓪𝓷𝓭 𝔀𝓱𝓪𝓽 𝓶𝓪𝓽𝓽𝓮𝓻𝓼,” 𝓦𝓲𝓷𝓲𝓯𝓻𝓮𝓭 𝓶𝓾𝓼𝓮𝓼. “𝓘𝓯 𝓷𝓸𝓽𝓱𝓲𝓷𝓰 𝓶𝓪𝓽𝓽𝓮𝓻𝓼, 𝓽𝓱𝓮𝓷 𝓷𝓸 𝓹𝓸𝓲𝓷𝓽.

How to internalize one another, what it is like to know each other, and how to reconcile with who you are. Because that's who you are. In conclusion , the story was unusual . John and Naomi captivated my heart so much that I just found myself at the end of the book reading once more from the start to enjoy it again. I kept sections for myself to remember them forever. Knowing that Amy’s book is over, for me, is one of the most painful things. Her writing is unlike any other writer. She manages to convey to me something that no other writer can do. The story is combined with suspense and romance, And one journey. About self-learning and about ourselves, all diffrenet kind of pain and giving, and sometimes the pain is the one being buried with us. A magical book, with a romanctic story that just made my heart beat every single line. ❤
Review: Absolutely amazing and totally engrossing! - I don’t know where to begin to express how much I enjoyed this book! Every character was an essential part of the story. Each one was so well written, that you will remember them long after you’ve completed the story. The love story between John and Naomi was from the very beginning, captivating. To watch it grow as the story progresses was almost intrusive, as you felt like you were that fly on the wall. However, theirs was not the only love story. There is the story between Naomi’s parents. It was not as demonstrative as that of John and Naomi, but it was ever present. The same with John and the May boys, or Naomi with the various women of the Indian tribes. His love for those boys was undeniable! Other characters also had their love stories. This story also had many instances of complete heartbreak, where, again, I felt the pain along with character. Tissue is a must have when reading this book. I cannot properly express my thoughts about this book, but one lesson I came away with is that love can be expressed in so many ways and for so many different individuals. We may think we know someone, but it’s not until you’ve experienced their lives, or made a sacrifice in behalf of a stranger, that you find out what true love and compassion look like. I absolutely recommend this novel to anyone interested in a good read. Well done, Amy Harmon, well done!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ An grueling journey to a better life (3.5 Stars)
*by E***I on May 6, 2020*

Amy Harmon is more than a great writer, she’s an educator too. I always leave her book with more knowledge about a historical event or some really interesting fact that I never knew. This book reminded me a little of the Grapes of Wrath but with a much happier ending. I loved both Naomi and Lucas as both characters didn’t fit the societal mold for that time period. It made them sort of misfits in their community. When their families set out from Missouri to go out West, their inner mettle was sorely tested. Despite all the trials and tragedy, Naomi and Lucas never lost their inner goodness and selflessness. They remained loyal and steadfast to each other and their loved ones. Naomi was such a strong woman and I feel like her art gave her empathy and insight into others. Lucas was a hardworking and patient man, after all, being of two races made him learn how to endure. They were perfect for each other to navigate the Oregon Trail together as they helped heal each other. I learned about mules as well as the perils of crossing rivers and dealing with tribes during that period. The author definitely touched on those issues with grace and dignity. It was cool to see how much research and family history she wove into this tale. The only draw back for me was that this story was slow. It was steady but it didn’t really snag my full attention until the middle. It felt more like a story about survival than a romance, but I guess the love story was even better in that it survived and stayed strong in spite of all the obstacles. I’m not sure I will read this story again and I normally re-read Amy Harmon stories. I do think it was a really good story.
