Along the Trail by Kaci Curtis

 

        A perilous journey – An untamed spirit.

 

Wild Women Authors focus is on Along the Trail, a rose length YA western, written by Kaci Curtis, and a current release by The Wild Rose Press.

About the Book: In 1847, Winnie and her family are traveling west to start a new life in the Oregon territory. While many in their wagon train fret over river crossings, disease, and encounters with Native tribes, she relishes the unexpected freedom of life on the trail.

Threatened by storms, wild animals, and outlaws, Winnie must rely on the bonds she’s made and all she’s learned in order for them to make it to Oregon alive. She also must decide if she is ready to risk forming an attachment to Hal, the cowhand who has a knack for showing up just when help is needed, or whether she will emulate Mae, the free-spirited daughter of their trail guide.

Our Review: With acute attention to historic detail for setting, customs and practices, the author brings the trials and tribulations of the wagon trains of that era. Faithful fans of historical fiction will glom onto this one and put it on their Keeper Shelf.

 

Based on a scale of 1-5, Along the Trail merits a 4.
