Summary: add to previous review
Comment: I neglected to mention this in my other review - I did find one historical error in the book. This story takes place in 1840. When Rebekah and her friend are reading Sky's newspaper ad, it states that Asa Mercer took a group of women to Seattle by ship "last year".
In real life, Asa Mercer made 2 such trips, in 1864 and 1865, and I understand he was 25 years old in 1865, so that part of the story is incorrect. In "The Starts for a Light," #1 in the "Cheney Duvall, M.D." series, Mr. Mercer is a major character, and based on another book I own, about the history of Seattle, that book is accurate. Most of the time Mr. Morris's historical characters are presented accurately, I also enjoy books by Janette Oke, and whenever they've written about the same topics, their information is usually consistent.

Summary: Great story, with a few frustrating parts
Comment: If you've followed the adventures of Sky Winslow's descendants, on whom most of the later books are based, this is the book that started it all, where Sky and Rebekah meet on a wagon train of women seeking husbands in Oregon. I've never understood why Rebekah had no last name on the geneology chart at the start of every book (P.S. The chart in Book 27 finally DOES show her last name), but anyway, the story begins with Rebekah Jackson enjoying a social life for the first time when she visits her cousin Nora. At the end of the visit, Rebekah elopes with a charming man who eventually leaves her alone and pregnant. Eventually she shares a home with Mary, a single mother who introduces her to God. Before Mary dies in an epidemic, she asks Rebekah to keep her baby, and urges her to answer an ad place by Sky Winslow for women to become brides in the west. While sometimes I wanted to throttle one or both of them for their stubbornness, everything works out in the end.

Summary: The House of Winslow family continues to grow!
Comment: In this exciting story of the House of Winslows, Rebekah Jackson learns the true meaning of disappiontment and loss. She finds herself married to a man she barely knows and who is quickly lossing intrest in her. Even when they fall into poverty she remains loyal and faithful, only to be stabbed in the back by him. Now lost, lonely, afraid, and pregnant, she finds her way to a womans small shanty and makes a home there. She also finds the Lord there. When her new friend and confidant becomes sick and dies, Rebekah is left to care for her child as well as her own. She decides to make a new life and travel west with her children. Sky Winslow is still bittered toward his wife for all the pain she caused him as well as by her death. He leads the small band of people on their way to Oregon. On the way he finds the Lord, himself, and... Rebekah. But will the dangerous that persist tear them apart, or draw them together. Happy Reading!
