5.0 out of 5 stars
Broad appeal - a little of everything!,
By A Customer
This review is from: The White Horses (Mass Market Paperback)
Pioneer adventure, Celtic mysticism, horses and other critters, mystery, family struggles, sacrifice, birth, life, death on the trail west, and even a little romance are all threaded together in this well-researched historical saga. This captivating tale of an Irish immigrant family struggling westward in the mid 1850's will appeal to readers with many diverse interests. The story includes memories of immigrant ship travel to America and takes the reader through pioneer travel to the west coast with the challenges of disease, weather and violence along the way. The calvary rides to the rescue from time to time, but the weight of the struggles falls upon the shoulders of the young woman, Brenna Corbett. Brenna lives a lifetime on the trip across the frontier. She learns self-respect, respect for her insights, and discovers her true strenghs along the way. An inspiration.

An exciting, must-read novel that everyone will love,
By A Customer
This review is from: The White Horses (Mass Market Paperback)
A story about a young woman, Brenna, who has taken on the responsibility of leading her family across the old west to California to meet up with her father. She and her stepmother have agreed to allow Tilly Castilla, a Mexican widow with her own way of doing things, to come along on the journey west. Brenna has the task of dealing with Tilly and her ways, with her stepmother whose health is not good, with her sister who is more interested in looking good than in helping out, and has her young brother (who has visions) to look after. And Brenna herself has an ability to communicate with horses and has visions involving white horses. She also joins up with other travelers along the way and the group deals with many tragedies--both of nature and of man. Also along the way, she meets up with an Army troop and there meets Lieutenant Armstrong and finds herself falling in love with him. Meanwhile, there is a scandal in the military involving a renegade who has been committing murders and Brenna ends up finding herself and her family in danger.This book was much better than I make it sound! I'm not a very good reviewer but I just wanted to add my opinion because I think this is a book that everyone should read...men and women!! It is an excellent book, very hard to put down and keeps the reader on the edge of his/her seat!
