REVIEW
Gets better and better … ❤ One of my favorite historical romance.
Simply STUNNING!
Where the Lost Wander is a historical romance – a love story between John and Naomi during their trek toward the west. It depicts the hardship, sacrifice, fear, and death the people face along the way. Naomi is a widower and John is half white and half Pawnee. They are an unlikely pair, but they bonded and fell in love through all the adversity. There is a lot going in this book than a love story to really summarize. The dynamic of Naomi’s family. John’s life struggles as a half-Pawnee man half white yet a stranger in both world. Life and death on the Overland Trail, the tragedy, and the sacrifice they faced. The details of the landscapes described was quite remarkable, beautiful, vivid, and well researched. There is a bit of violence and a few other triggers that were a little difficult for me What can I say, I like roses and sunshine but that wouldn’t be real, would it? There isn’t a lot of hot and heavy scenes either given the timeline, but very romantic in a beautiful, old fashion kind of way. If you love historical romance, you must read this. It’s a heartbreaking, inspiring story about love, loss, sacrifice, and new beginnings. Must I say the author’s writing is exquisite? I suspect you already knew that!
