"This is the first in a trilogy, about 3 sisters living alone in Montana in the 1800's. I listened to this on audio book and could not wait till I was back in my car to hear more. This writer makes you feel like you really know the characters, and does a good job with them. I also enjoy that this took place in Bozeman and Virginia City where I've been, though a hundred years later! The love story in here does not overtake the rest of the story, is not too gushy and is one you can believe in! I couldn't wait to get into the 2nd book!!"

" Kinda drug the story out. "
— Katie, 2/16/2014" I like to read books that take place in an area that I will be traveling to, and this book take place in Montana where I was going to be traveling through so I pick it up. It was interesting enough for me to want to finish it, and I am thinking that my girls will enjoy this even if there are no wizards named Harry or a vampire named Edward in it! "
— Stacey, 2/1/2014" Better than I expected it to be. A good storyline "
— Pam, 2/1/2014" This is the first of a three book series. Each books concentrates on one of three sisters living in Montana, running a boarding house. Each struggles with a person issue that developed from their past but in the end finds love. It takes place in the mid 1800's. I love historical romance and this deals with frontier living during the development of the railroad out west. "
— Solson, 1/30/2014" This book was very good and i look forward to the next one in the series "
— Klriley, 1/28/2014" Very good Loved this triligy--well I haven't read the second one yet, but very good. About 3 women in the pioneer days who end up without their dad and have to run a bording house by themselves. Each woman meets a christian man and eventually they all get married. "
— Rshelite, 1/24/2014" Excellant book with a very good message "
— Kathy, 1/5/2014" All three of these books are fantastic to read. It's a great story between three sisters. And I recommend it to anyone who has a sister. "
— Jennah, 1/3/2014" This is the first book I have read from Tracie Peterson. I was looking for a romantic book that was clean. I found that plus more, a book that has Christina values and mentions Jesus as our Savior. Something I know that if my child picked up I wouldn't be afraid that she would read it. "
— Claudia, 1/1/2014" This is a sweet tale of love, betrayal, death, and learning about yourself. I appreciate the reliance on God and faith that permeate the book. These are the values that this country was built upon, and as soon as we forget this we are truly lost. "
— Diane, 12/25/2013" Yawn. I found myself skimming most of this book. This author is a little more heavy-handed on Christianity than some other authors, so some readers might not like that. I don't think I will be reading any more from the author. "
— Emily, 12/12/2013" I really like Tracie Peterson. This was a fun series to read about three sisters. All of her books make me want to visit the places she writes about. Some of here series have a similar feel to them but they are all great and lots of historical aspects. "
— Mindi, 12/3/2013" A pretty good story about life in the west before the railroad...about three dusters, running an inn of sorts. Not great literature but pretty good characters..and easy reading. "
— Karen, 11/25/2013" I liked it a lot, but can't say I loved it. It did seem to drag on a bit, but I did enjoy the story line. "
— Nancy, 11/21/2013" I can't wait for the next book in this series to come out. I have not been able to put it down. "
— Shannon, 11/21/2013" An easy read but corny. "
— Amanda, 8/2/2013" I don't know whats got into me. 3 loving sisters, and a romance, at a stage lay over. Comical, and enjoyable. The usual Baddies in between. "
— Malia, 4/29/2013" I LOVED this series! A must read for anyone who loves Montana and the 1800's. It felt like a Bible Study with women from another time period with a wise leader, Patience. I truly enjoyed this series. I will continue to read Tracie Patterson books for sure! "
— Kate, 8/25/2012" A good, clean romance, with unique and endearing characters. I definitely plan to read the other books in this series! "
— Bethani, 7/25/2012" This slow novel was quite boring throughout. It was another book without much of a plot. There were several story lines that would have added spice to the novel, had the author explored them. As is, this book is an unsatisfying read. "
— Brooke, 6/9/2012" Loved this whole series... I couldn't put them down. Strong women who make it on their own in the "Wild West" after their father dies. They stick together and each book highlights one of the three sisters--their growth, their relationships and their futures. "
— Patti, 5/10/2012" Didn't really like it when i started reading it and so stopped reading it. "
— Ruslan, 2/20/2012" I really enjoyed this book. It was fun, has lovable characters, and a hate-able villain. I'm looking forward to reading the next two in the series. "
— Stacia, 10/11/2011" I took a while to get through this one. It is the first in a series of three. Being the set up book, it moved slow. The next two look interesting. "
— Denise, 9/21/2011" Christian fiction is so darn contrived, lack of character development in this one is a major bummer as well. No more Peterson for me. "
— Brandi, 4/18/2011" The 2nd book in the Song of Alaska. It was a good book, although slow at times. The story is of Dalton and his life in Sitka. He goes back to Kansas City to meet his siblings and has decisions to make when he learns of his inheritance. "
— Sandy, 3/22/2011" I enjoyed the basic story line of this book, especially the location details, but I wish the author was better at developing her stories and characters. "
— Katri, 3/4/2011" I am really enjoying this series! I bought them on a recommendation of someone I don't know, which I don't usually do. And am so glad I did! "
— Audrey, 2/21/2011" Huge disappointment =( I knew what was going to happen within the first two chapters.... "
— Nirel, 11/7/2010" I like Christian fiction! And this was a good one. "
— Susan, 10/9/2010" I love Tracie Peterson's books! I have read everyone of her books that my library carries. Her books are an easy read but I love the drama/romance in them. "
— Tina, 10/7/2010" sequel to Dawn's Prelude. it was decent. :) "
— Cheri, 9/28/2010" As enjoyable as the first book in the series. I look forward to the next one. "
