      May 24, 2009: The author tried to combine too many genres into one book. The time travel element goes back to Westward Ho wagon train ordeals, boring until one of the characters is revealed as a murderer. The contemporary story keeps getting interrupted by the backflashes to boring life on the trail to California, so that this thread dominates the so-called suspense element of the story. The plot and danger to the heroine and others in the present-day story is eclipsed by the less interesting story in the past, and the romantic element barely gets off the ground. The ending in the past is gory, the present-day story of suspense is mostly sandwiched into the final pages and hastily explained. The readers have all guessed who the bad guy is in the present-day story, even though the heroine doesn't get it. A wearying read, with too many elements tossed in with little concern for the build of suspense.

      July 21, 2006: This was my first Erin Grady book and it was very good. It is two stories within a story. The first story is about Tess who has gone to California to get her niece because her sister has disappeared. The second story is about Molly who parallels Tess's life, but Molly is heading to California in a covered wagon. I think this book deserves 4 1/2 stars. I didn't give it 5 because I knew pretty early who the bad guys were, but was still shockingly surprised at the end. This was an easy read. It kept my attention. It was one of those books that after you read it, you say Wow! that was a good book.
