This is a very likable story about a wagon train traveling to Oregon Territory. Th author has done much research on the topic and it shows.
Jade Donovan is traveling with 5 of her 'hurdy-gurdy' sisters. Although Jade is the musical entertainment and not one of the prostitutes, everyone paints the 6 with the same brush. The wagon train is not pleased to have them along but has assigned the preacher, Matt Richards to keep the girls in line. Matt is going to Oregon to open a home for orphans; he is a widower with several small children.
Although the story was engrossing and moved along well, there were several things that just did not make sense. Allowing Matt to come without a wife and with several small children made no sense. The segments about Fancy (and the Indian warrior) and Skeeter were not realistic. Otherwise, this was a great story.
