This powerful story, an homage to Charles Portis� classic ‘True Grit�, took me on a grand adventure. I saw so much of myself in the spunky 14-year-old heroine, Mary Haidie Richards, from Smoak, Illinois. I loved that she was tenacious, resourceful, and resolute. I cheered her on from the get-go.

I loved the setting, the descriptive writing, the author’s sense of humour (Book of George and the wedding ceremony in ‘Latin�), the pacing and the individual and realistically crafted characters.

When I wasn’t reading, I was thinking about this story and the characters!

I was gifted this copy by St. Martin's Press and NetGalley and was under no obligation to provide a review.
