A well-done fictional story about the early days in Oregon Territory and the Whitman Massacre. I really liked Grace as a character and found it easy to relate to her.
One thing that bugged me was the portrayal of Whitman as a self-focused autocrat because I've never heard his character read that way before. In the audio version, it also bugged me that the narrator kept saying “neszh purse” instead of “nay pur-say” for Nez Percé (which apparently is a common pronunciation now, but definitely wasn't in the time period of the story). Otherwise it's a really enjoyable(?) story despite the heart-wrenching issues with the massacre.
