In Voices from the Prairie, the author takes the reader on an unforgettable journey that starts in Dublin, Ireland, in 1848 and continues throughout the life of Anna Marie McCann. In 1880, Anna leaves Boston and heads to the wild and wooly Kansas Territory in search of her father who had mysteriously disappeared five years earlier. Upon arriving in Dodge City, she meets Sheriff Isaiah Johnson. Their comical and unrestrained banter sets the stage for a heartrending relationship. While in Dodge, Anna develops a growing compassion for children from various cultures and backgrounds. Her life is suddenly tinged with purpose and her home becomes a haven bound by the miracle of love. The story reflects a piece of American history by portraying the hardships, heartaches, and triumphs of a time that will be forever in the hearts of Western readers.

This review is from: Voices from the Prairie (Paperback)

The author entices your emotions to live the tragedies, triumphs, and joys in which the settlers of the Old West exercised the adaptibility to cope with life on the American frontier. She explores the tenderness, strength, and courage of developing relationships with family, friends, and those in need of love. Though the story is fiction, she helps you identify that we are all pioneers of the heart.
A very worthwhile read!
