When I won this book, I was expecting a romance and learning a lot about the 1893 World's fair. I got both but so much more. There was adventure, danger, shows, etc. to name a few. The details about the layout of the fair made one wish they could have attended such a large fair as it would have taken days to experience it all. Annie losing her husband and being a young widow I found interesting as she tried to mend feelings with her husband's family who had never met her. Yet they did not accept her even then. But when they learned about the carriage that her husband had built with his partner, they tried to steal it out from under her. Silas was like a lot of older people are confused a lot but still able to do what he knew best. In reading this book, you are walking through an adventure with Annie as she takes a train ride to Chicago from Indiana. I've often wondered what it would be like to ride a train. Then when she meets Nick, Silas' nephew, she isn't prepared for the person she meets. Nick being in a Wild West show gives you insight to Wild Bill Cody's Wild West show, which is well know even today. Annie ends up in trouble but she holds her wits about her and you learn how God protects her all throughout this book and how to stay calm even when in danger. As I am going through someone trying to set my house afire, I read this book at an ideal time. It has strengthened me in my faith and prepared me for some of things I am walking through right now. To me a must read for everyone. Publisher: Barbour |
