My Review:
This was an exceptional YA read! I have a soft spot for any historical fiction YA books, and this one is perfect for any Little House on the Prairie lovers!
Its a very sweet and suspenseful tale, and the author put a lot of heart into the meaning of what it is to be a Christian and make tough choices. This story follows three point-of-views, rather than the usual one or two, but the author does a great job keeping them all clear with their own voices. The headings were so fun and I loved the meanings behind them. The author wove a lot of the heart of the gospel into this story, and I really loved seeing that!
Content:
Language: a few uses of d+mn and hell
Violence: suspenseful but non-graphic, likely suitable for older teens. racial and religious persecution, bloodshed, a character who commits su+cide, death.
Age Rating: 16+
