I enjoyed this book very much. It's a cozy afternoon's read - not hard work, but all the characters are well rounded and I found myself interested in each one (not just the main two), and eager to read more about them. It put me in mind of the early episodes of Little House on the Prairie, &amp; in my mind that's no bad thing!

A gentle, thought provoking &amp; easy to read prairie story
