Historical fiction set in the Midwest of 1860's. Abolitionist pioneers initially settled in an area where they weren't wanted so they move north to a more receptive town recently founded by Josiah Grinnell.
Dwells too much on romance for my taste, although it is interesting to read an historical fiction set in the place where I currently live. Part of the story takes place in Nebraska, Colorado and the South (Civil War battles). Other themes include pioneer life and the Underground Railroad.
[Iowa Mention]
