This is a great book about a woman's feeling, fears and hopes as she builds a home for her family in the Colorado territory. Life as a wife on the prarie is nothing like Mattie thought it would be with her new husband in her new home, a soddy with a dirt floor. Her best friend are fellow male settlers and her diary. This is a well written book with characters I only wanted to know more and more about.
