Fra amazon:
No one is more surprised than Mattie Spenser herself when Luke Spenser, considered the great catch of their small Iowa town, asks her to marry him. Less than a month later, they are off in a covered wagon to build a home on the Colorado frontier. Mattie's only company is a slightly mysterious husband and her private journal, where she records the joys and frustrations not just of frontier life, but also of a new marriage to a handsome but distant stranger. As she and Luke make life together on the harsh and beautiful plains, Mattie learns some bitter truths about her husband and the girl he left behind and finds love where she least expects it. Dramatic and suspenseful, this is an unforgettable story of hardship, friendship and survival.


Bogen har nogle gode beskrivelser og man lærer personerne at kende, men jeg er ikke så vild med hovedpersonen. Bare en personlighedstype som ikke lige er mig. Hendes dagbog virker på mig som om den er skrevet til eftertiden. Skrevet med udgivelse for øje (hvad den af forfatteren jo også er). Den føles lidt kold og for kontrolleret. Der er for meget skjult. 
Og jeg fatter ikke, hvad Tom Earley som jeg godt kunne lide i Prayers for sale, skulle have set i hende.
