I
received a copy of ALL SHE LEFT BEHIND by Jane Kirkpatrick from Revell in
exchange for an honest review.
This
reminded me of all the books I adored back in middle school and high
school. It is about the Oregon frontier
in the 1870s. I am such a fan of
historical fiction. I swallowed this all
up, and best of all, it is based on true stories! Basically this book is about a single mother
struggling to care for her son and coming to terms with emotion she feels for a
widower. As a new mother, I could
connect with her struggles on many levels.
The
historical details place you right in the setting. It was especially eye-opening in the
descriptions of women’s roles back then on the frontier. I was familiar with those roles from reading
other books, but it always surprises me to see how far we’ve come.
I
recommend this book for lovers of historical fiction, especially because it is
based on real people.
