This series made me laugh and made me cry. Kristen Heitzmann created characters that rang true. The plot kept me up all hours of the night in anticipation of the next page. These books are incredible. An inspiring and realistic journey through love, loss, and new love. Thank you, Ms. Heitzmann!

I picked up the first book in the library, thinking the series looked good and I needed something to keep me busy for the next week. Well, I finished the first book within hours of completing my homework. The next day I rushed to get the next book and that is how my last 5 days have been.
I feel very attached to these characters and I have grieved with Abbie through all of the deaths. The author knows the situation of post-Civil War Colorado. She has done her reseach and created a family who's problems twist up my soul. Abbie although she is a wild character has grown with her different experiences. When Monte died, I could not believe it. This story was to have a happy ever after, but it ends up as a different happy ever after. I find how the book does not get into any thing scandelous refreshing. It is a nice change from many books on the selves today.
From a Colorado native, my thanks to the author. She has represented our mountains very well.

Read this triology and hope there is a forth! Kristen Heitzmann tells a wonderful story, fresh characters that you enjoy getting to know with surprises that you didn't see coming! Read them and enjoy!

The books in this trilogy and also the 4th in the series had vivid descriptions of dead animals burned in a fire, a man gored by a bull, dead bodies found days after they were murdered, etc. These went beyond my taste in telling more than I cared to know.

I was disappointed because the main characters were Christians, but Abbie seemed to spend the majority of her time either hating someone or envying them. And she didn't seem to tell others about the Lord. And it seemed her faith was rarely strong. When the man Abbie loved married another for honor, Abbie treated him very cooly and yet still spent her time pining after him even though he had a wife. In another instance, she was envious of her sister-in-law Marcy for calling her mother Ma. I realize Christians do experience all these feelings, but the author seemed to dwell more on the sins than on the eventual victory over them.

To be fair, there was plenty of action. But the above are just a few of the reasons why I wouldn't want to re-read the books and would be unlikely to buy more of them.
