I received a copy of HEARTBREAK TRAIL by Susan K. Marlow
from Kregel Publications. It is the
second installment in the Circle C Milestones series. The series is geared toward young adult girls
who enjoy adventure with a strong sense of religion. The religion isn’t overpowering though. I like how it is gracefully woven into the
tales of young Andrea Carter.
This story involves Andrea turning fifteen. She asks to go on her family’s cattle
drive. I loved the realistic
descriptions of the cattle drive. None
of the gory details were left out and the adventure felt very raw. I don’t want to give any spoilers, but the
trip is far from pleasant for Andrea, and mosquitos are the least of her
worries! Andrea also takes a liking to
a certain boy. Her emotions are
realistic and will have you giggling over how she is (finally!) growing up in
that aspect.
Overall, I highly recommend this book series. It is solid young adult fiction with strong
morals. The reader gets to figure out
Andrea’s adventures right along with her.
I can’t wait for the next book!
Another huge plus for this series is that there are two
other series about Andrea, but geared toward younger readers. Fans get to grow up with “Andi” right along
with her.
