Review: A Christmas Prayer by Wanda E Brunstetter
About The Book:
Only the brave -- or foolhardy -- would attempt a cross-country journey late in the season. Three wagons meet up in Independence, Missouri, in April 1850, and their owners decide to keep forging ahead despite many setbacks and delays. December finds them in the Sierra Nevada Mountains when a sudden snowstorm traps them, obscuring the trail.
My Thoughts:
This is a shorter book, only 170 pages. It was a quick read but very sweet. And it's a Christmas Story! I really enjoyed it! Cynthia Cooper is traveling late in the season to California with a couple other wagons. They have to all work together to make it through as a snowstorm traps them in the mountains. Cynthia is traveling with her fiancee but the other two men on their small wagon train have taken an interest in her as well. Cynthia now has to choose which path to take. Will she be brave enough to take the one she really wants?
It was such a good, short story! Definitely one I'll re-read.
I received this book from the author for an honest review, all opinions are my own.
