Anyway, we begin the book with Fannie. Her mother is dead and she's now on her own. She's never been taught how to take care of a household, so she's unaware of the issues she's going to have to deal with now. The man in charge of her family's money is encouraging her to marry, but Fannie finds some letters that help her choose her course. She was alone in the world and now she has an aunt. Not just any aunt, one that's interesting and cultured.
Samuel meets up with Fannie on a steamboat heading up the Missouri River to Montana. He's trying to find his sister. He failed her one and he doesn't plan on letting it happen again. Tragedy on the river brings these two closer together, but circumstances in the wilderness threaten to pull them apart.
I liked this book, but I had some issues with it as well. The story ended somewhat abruptly and the epilogue was a little confusing. I had the same kind of issue when I read A Claim of Her Own, so I'm not sure I'll be tracking any more of this author's books. Overall, this was a good book, there just seems to be something missing at times. Even though I'm not planning on reading more, this one still gets my Good Book! review.
And just for fun...
