Wow…….. just wow. I finished reading this book in tears. It is such a powerful story about overcoming loss and hardship. I loved the character development for Victoria - she is inspiring. 

I highly highly recommend reading this book. I was hooked from the first page and didn’t put it down.

this was so so disappointing. the characters are incredibly one dimensional and stereotypical, the plot is incredibly unbelievable and boring, and the author used the singular Indigenous American character is barely featured and simply used to further the main characters story and then thrown away.

Beautifully written. Loved the
Colorado history and geography.  A little too much trauma for 5 stars, but overall redemptive.
