A Place To Belong

More of a 2.5 because I kept wanting to slap the heroine in the face for acting like a five-year-old. I liked her quite a bit once she acted more adult. There was a lot of stuff going on in the story, and I felt like the bit with the cattle rustlers was more of a minus than a plus because it really threw in all the stereotypical “western” sort of things and it didn't honestly advance the plot at all. I really liked all the Scripture lessons in it, though. I'll be reading more in the series.
