The story had a lot of good points, but it also left me feeling very distant from the scene because of the writing style. It's clear she did her research on historical setting, but apparently not on historic names or speech, and it was jarring to keep trying to force my imagination back to 1838 while in the midst of scenes with such strongly 1970s/1980s names as Sherry, Cathy, Jace, Maddie, Paige, Alison, and Doyle; and terms like “the kids at school” and so on. Otherwise it's a sweet story and I will be continuing the series.
