The main character is a young girl approaching adulthood named Rebecca. She has an unconventional dream for her historical period and is willing to pay the price to make it happen. Rebecca also stands up for others and is not afraid to do hard things. I love how much she enjoys nature, her mountains and the sunsets! I enjoyed the story of this book. The relationship between her and her mother is beautiful. My main issue with this book is the marketing… it is marketed as a Christian fiction historical fiction novel but it is clearly not. It is a book with the main characters of the Mormon faith and their message which I do not agree with as I’m not Mormon. I found it interesting to see the pioneering life aspect of Alberta!
