I love The Daughters of the Mayflower series, and The Cumberland Bride by Shannon McNear
is a fantastic addition. You immediately step into the story of what it was
like to travel in 1794 into the frontier of western Kentucky. Travel was
hazardous at best, and add to it that it was a move with all they could take
with them packed on their animals. Their guide is an intriguing individual with
some secrets of his own. All of these things make it a tough journey, but there
is also conflict with the Indians brewing.
The story is rich in history and you feel like you are with
them on their journey. But it is also a satisfying story with the depth of the
characters making you feel like you know them. The conflicts and solutions are
wrapped in vivid detail and real emotion. History, romance, and a good story-
what's not to like?
This is the kind of
story that makes history real and alive. I would recommend it to others.
