"This is a story about a group of sisters who are forced out of their, relatively, cocooned lives . Not a romanticized tale of their journey, but a well-researched depiction of 19th century Northwest Ohio. How do these women respond an change as they encounter communities and perspectives different from their own? This is a satisfying read--great plot, substantial characters and lots to think about. Highly recommend, both for personal reading and book clubs."
