Summary: My favorite book!
Review: Couldn't put it down. I first found this story through the mini series on tv. I then read a friends copy of the book moving on next to the "Hill Country" book. The hardships these women endured to just survive are incredible. I have read it over again and recently went to Seguin, TX to take the True Women tour starting with Sarah Mclure Braches' house. Needless to say I am hooked. Janice Windle Woods is a wonderful author and I highly recommend this book especially to history buffs.

Summary: Don't usually read this type of book
Review: I bought this book thinking that I wouldn't like it. I was shocked, and I now consider it among my favorites! Being from Texas, I found the historical background mesmerizing! I could relate to all the women in the book, despite the many years that separated our lives. I've become a true fan of Janice Woods Windle.

Summary: Awesome book!!
Review: I first saw this story when it was a miniseries on tv and after I saw it I had to get the book and read it. As soon as I got the book I didn't put it down. I am now in 9th grade and I had the book for silent reading in my 8th grade class and the book was finished in less than a month. Usually I don't like reading LONG books but this one was a page turner. The cool thing is I felt I could relate to Euphemia the most. What these women went through makes me feel awesome to be a woman. If women didn't have people like them around back then I don't even want to think what women's lives would be like today! Read it, because its awesome.
