Adventure and romance in 1794

Katarina "Kate" Gruener is an outgoing young lady interested in the stories and history of anyone she meets. She is about to embark on her own adventure when her family moves from northeastern Tennessee to western Kentucky. Thomas Bledsoe prefers the wilderness and solitude over crowds and conversation. He has a past he prefers not to talk about. When Thomas agrees to scout for the Gruener family and their neighbors as they travel the Wilderness Road, will Kate convince Thomas to share his story?

This is the first book by Shannon McNear that I have read, but I certainly do not intend for it to be the last. I thoroughly enjoyed this story! The characters were well developed, the story moved at a great pace, and the writing was not repetitious. The author obviously researched her subject carefully. Even the author's note and historical note were interesting. I would highly recommend this book to readers aged mid-teen and above.

I received a copy of this book through Barbour Publishing but was not required to write a review. All opinions expressed are my own.
