I recently received a copy of this new book, Summer of Promises by Amanda Cabot. She is an author I am somewhat familiar with and have enjoyed her historical novels before. This one doesn't fall far from the tree:)

Have you ever read a book and you feel like you have taken the journey along with that character? That is how I felt after reading this book. Amanda Cabot takes you, the reader, along on the travels of one young lady, Abigail. The opening of this book is somewhat humorous and I had to laugh. What a funny little old lady!! Getting her married even though she knows nothing about her:) I don't want to spoil anything so I am not going to say much more about that, but you have to find out!! It really is funny.

I took a liking to Abigail from the beginning even though she was a little uppity at first. But I try to putmyself in her shoes of traveling alone and being a city girl going out west. What a trip it must have been! Imagine the sights you see! I really liked how the ending was done, even though it was a little bit different than expected. The characters are well thought out and the plot is beautiful! Lots of good reading in these pages. If you like a historical novel that takes you back into that time period, pick up a copy of this book at your local seller.

Available January 2012 at your favorite bookseller from Revell, a division of Baker Publishing Group.
