Review

Author Cara Grandle has written a sweet Oregon territory debut story that readers will connect with through the main characters and their life of hard work, struggles, tragedy and regrets, but also as they find little pockets of joy along the journey.  This is an inspiring and  heart-endearing Hallmark style story that connects readers not only to the characters but to the past and life in the 1840’s.  Although the story has a bit of a slow start, this story about one of the Porcelain Doll Sisters  is one that will be enjoyed by many readers to come.
