Frontier Woman

Summary: One star is for the decent writing
Review: While the writing was good, the story was somewhat slow moving & disappointing and the characters left a lot to be desired, particularly the female lead "Cricket." How the hero falls in love w/such a spoiled, immature & utterly selfish person is beyond me. Thoroughout the book, Cricket makes choices simply to be obstinate & winds up hurting others, one in particular, terribly. She causes her sister in law to be brutally raped & beaten & this is glossed over in the book as not being her fault, beacause after all, Cricket didn't mean for it to happen? I've read other Johnston books in the past & like them better, but this one took an effort to get through. Really disappointing.
