I thought the book "Wild Thing" could get any better but when I read the sequel to it. OMG I feel in love. Little Raven grew into a strong willed mountain woman and no one told her what to do anything. A strong willed lady. She still had her struggles. But at the end of the book I cried so (happy tears) I was so happy that'd she'd overcome everything .

Excellent series. It’s tragic exciting heart breaking and unreal. The things that happened to this young girl trying to survive is just hard to imagine. The hatred the innocence. The cruelty and stupidity on the part of the characters is just hard to imagine. The pain and sorrow this young lady experienced from nature and man was hard to even cope with. Then ending was great. Perfect

Great read!

This story gave me all the things a woman could want. A struggling person trying to survive, a dog who loved her, and a wonderful man to share her life with, thank you Peggy.

Wishing it hadn't ended.

I was sad when this book ended. Although, the ending was appropriately timed. I felt as though I was actually sitting with the people in the book watching their stories unfold.

great book.

Couldn’t put it down. It held my attention and took me back in time when things were simple. Nature is a beautiful thing.

Excellent

Haven't read a book by this author that I didn't give 5 stars though I've got a few left to go I have no doubt I will enjoy them all.

Great read

I love a book about strong women and endurance. This sequel is just a wonderful experience for someone who grew up in the mountains

A really unique take on literal "mountain living." More action for sure than "Aggie's Story"
