Book Blurb
1883 California Trail, Kansas
Missouri mules were the best. Alda grew to love the creatures working side by side with her pa on their farm along the banks of the Missouri River. He would be hopping mad when he realized his wife and daughter colluded behind his back to sell a pack string. It wouldn’t matter that they were trying to save the farm.
Alda struck out on her own to drive the team over fifteen hundred miles. By day three, her lead mule Bessie refused to take one more step. It was a good thing the handsome cowboy Cord stopped by to lend a hand or Alda might still be sitting in the dust.
Now, Alda needed the man to move on so she could continue her journey. Judging by the spark in Cord’s eye … it just might take some convincing.
Author Bio

Alda is determined to save her family's farm but to do so she puts herself into danger and her father even puts her into a situation that is hard to accept and even imagine that a father would do!
Both Cole and Alda claims that the other saved them from situations, but I say they saved each other.
This book was filled with twists that kept me turning the pages from page one to the end and I even wanted to keep reading.
Alda learns that her father's claim that God is for weak folks isn't true at all.
I like this story because even through some of the characters became Christians, not all the characters accepted the Christian life just like in real life. I like fictional reads that have a little real life mixed in.
I was given a complimentary copy by the author and Celebrate Lit. These are my own opinions.
