My Thoughts

Anne is written by Rena Groot. This is part of the Prairie Roses collection that is written by multiple authors but can all be read as stand alone stories.  This was a nice quick read that transports you back in time and to the wagon trails. The author has done a wonderful job at bringing the past to life through her story. 

Anne is a widow at age 19. She was traveling with her husband, William, on a Wagon Train when he was murdered. I cannot imagine having to constantly be looking around for the threat of stage coach robbers. US Marshal, Logan is on the train with the murderer. Anne struggles. Can she extend forgiveness or will she hold the resentment towards him. I loved the faith element that the author wove into the story. 

The book is well written. The storyline is engaging. Thank you to the author, publisher and Celebrate Lit for allowing me to read a copy of this book - all thoughts are my own.

  2. Forgiveness or Vengeance? That is the question of this novel. Sounds interesting.
