Summary: A Lovely and Touching Story
Comment: When Abbie Mckenzie was young she dreamed of becoming a lovely lady like her grandmother. She wanted to paint beautiful pictures and become a world famous singer. She even gets a chance to fulfill those dreams when the dashing young doctor hears her singing, falls in love, and offers to take her East and away from Iowa with him. But people's ideals change sometimes. Abbie finds love with poor but steady Will Deal. She gives up everything to move to Nebraska with him. Many obsticals awaited them there but together they made it. Abbie and Will were barely getting by, but their children were as happy as kings. Maybe that's because their lovely mother braught them up "with a song upon her lips and a lantern in her hand". As Abbie Deal grows old, she realizes that none of her old dreams will ever come true for her but they will through her children. And as an old woman, she can look back on her life with a smile. This book is beautiful and touching and will bring tears to your eyes. I recomend this book because I absolutely loved it every time I read it.

Summary: Love and Faith Keep You Going
Comment: This is a wonderful book of a woman's life and times in the 1800s. The story begins with an old woman telling of her life when she was a little girl up until her husband was thrown from a horse and killed. She tells of a gift her mother gave her, a string of pearls from Ireland, that her husband sold and then bought back many years later. She tells of love and faith and how a family continues to get along even in troubled times.
My brother and I both read this book in high school. He did a book report on it. It is really excellent reading, and should be read by anyone who enjoys historical novels. This book was based on a true-life story.

Summary: This is a masterpeice
Comment: This is truly one of the most perfect, touching pieces of literature I have ever read. I wish I could give it 10 stars! Rarely do you read a novel that takes the reader through an entire lifespan of one person and manages to breathe genius into every phase of their life. I found myself crying several times during the book simply because it was SO true! This author seemed to have uncanny insight into the life, and heart, of pioneer woman.
This book was written in the 1920's, yet every word still rings true. For god sakes, someone, get this OUT of the "young adult" category--this novel speaks to every woman, no matter her age.
