This is a wonderful book. It is the second of three in the "kinship and courage" series. Here Mazy learns she can stand on her own without the man she loves; Suzanne, though blind, realizes she truly needs others and can be her own person . Ruth solves her problems of Jessie's paternity and her angst about whether she can be a good mother. Tipton marries after the death of her beloved Tyrelle and discovers her mother's love and loyalty only extends to her brother.
You won't be able to put it down.

This is a moving story based on good historical research. The second in Jane Kirkpatrick's Kinship and Courage series, it continues a story of how the lives of a small group of surviving women settled in California after a harrowing trip westward. Their lives, woven together through what they have gone through, and through continuing dangers and difficulties, make for a dramatic story of persistence, reaching out for help, personal growth, facing dangers, and making decisions that will set their lives in directions for their futures. Parts of the book kept me "on the edge of my seat," and others brought tears. Finishing this book has me greatly anticipating the 3rd book in the series.
