I LOVED this book.  The writing captivated me immediately and I was completely immersed in this story about the travel west.  The characters were vivid and jumped off the page (and mostly into my heart). Haidie is now one of my all time favorite characters.  Her voice was unique and I was just soaking in this amazing storytelling. It was a wild and interesting and fun ride and I was not ready for it to end. I haven't read many westerns, but now I need more!

Note: The audiobook narration was perfect and really immersed me into the story to help me love it even more.

Thanks to the publisher for a free audiobook; my review and thoughts are my own.
