"Untimely, like a river meeting the sea, with nowhere else to run, she must make peace with the past and good on her promise to those she loves."
This is a beautifully written novel. The locations in the West are so well described that you can almost hear the train whistle blowing across the desert. Josie is a fantastic character. We first meet her at 6years of age and follow her until she is 21. Even from the beginning, she is a caring and compassionate sister who works to make her family happy and her mother proud. The mistakes that she makes during her life all make sense based on the person that she tried to be. She was brave and compassionate and even when she was living a life in the big city that was totally alien to her growing up years, her family remained the most important people in her life. She is a not a character that I'll soon forget. It's amazing that this beautifully written novel is a debut for this author. After reading this book, I expect that we'll see some great books from this author in the future.… (mehr)
