Review: 
Another Phenomenally Enjoyable Book in this Christian Historical Fiction Series by Lauraine Snelling Set During The Civil War!! 

The Characters are still so interesting and intriguing to read about. Jesselynn is still my favorite. 

The Setting is still so beautifully described which made me feel like i was actually in the book while reading, especially when the scenery was described. 

Overall Another Good and Enjoyable Book in this Series!! Can't wait to read more very soon!!

Such fun to read about the continuation of the lives of Jesselynn and Lousia. Both are always into many things. Jesselynn is on her way along the Oregon Trail while Lousia is still worried about the confederate soldiers in the hospital.

This is the second in this series by Lauraine Snelling. I liked it just as much as I liked the first one. The book is about Jesselynne Highwood who leaves her ranch in Kentucky with some of her freed slaves and her little brother along with their Thoroughbred horses to travel across the country to Oregon to keep them safe from the ravages of the Civil War. She pretends to be a boy since she got more respect that way and people would deal with her when she wanted to buy supplies and such when they wouldn't have if she was female. As it starts out, the troup is halfway across the States living in a cave (a big cave) outside of Springfield. When the war cstches up with them, they move on to join a wagon train going to Oregon. Jesse's doubts about God and her faith add to the story. Meanwhile, her sisters are living in Richmond, VA, helping out with the wounded men. They discover that one of the wounded men is their brother, Zackary, and that part of their family is reunited. Their home, Twin Oaks, was burnt out by raiders, but their freed slaves hid and came back to try to keep things going -- the tobacco crop, the garden, etc. I really liked the pace of this book. It didn't drag at all. The story kept going from the sisters in Richmond to Jesse in the west and back again. There is a very Christian theme running through it as well, but it isn't overwhelming. It seems as if it should be there. I'm sure there is another volume in the series because they haven't made it to Oregon yet. I'll have to look for it.
