One tough woman takes on the
West
The main character in this book is Lorrie, a strong, courageous woman that
goes off the Oregon Trail and blazes her own life in the West. She's the
embodiment of what a woman of that time period had to be like: able to make
decisions, able to pull and use a weapon, and with the people skills needed to
survive and thrive. This is a pleasant read that will take you into the Old West
and leave you with a good sense that the West was not won by cowboys taking on
Indians, it was won little town by little town, because of women like Lorrie.
