I loved this story. There were enough facts to make it informative about this grave and unfortunate event. Many issues were hit upon like racism, poor treatment of women and how little say they had about their lives and how Native Americans were forced to give up their lives to assimilate into society. I recommend this book to anyone who enjoys reading historical fiction. This book was an eye opener.

What a fascinating story, how one event can shape so many lives, so differently. None of the characters are heroes and what a hard life the settlers had. A glimpse of it

It is sad that the loving sisters parted. The storm changed so many things, so many lives. The writing was very descriptive and made it easy to believe in the characters.
