I really enjoyed the it!

Kept me captivated and was an easy story to follow along. Look forward to down loading the next one in the series.

Real life circumstances that were handled lovingly

Amazing and real life experiences
And very enjoyable. I want to hear more of their journey

Makes ya wonder

Makes ya wonder about the true timeline for it feels like this is a now timeline with all the politics.
Besides that, Gteat storyline... almost feels like this is IRL it's such a great piece of creative writing that draws you in and keeps you there.

Still good series.

Series usually lose momentum when more than 2 books included. We'll see if this author defies the odds and maintains 4-5 star for whole series.

Left me hanging😔

I wondered the real reason why the LDS members have been extremely forced to leave their homes in the 1800s. I felt very sad that other non-Mormons could be so cruel as to persecute them in such a way that the Mormons had to leave behind everything they have built for their family and community. But I couldn't see in the story a compelling reason for their persecution since the Mormons seems to be very nice and upright people.
