enjoyable

I enjoyed it, a bit much religion but it was for the time.

The hallmark series is more modern and does this story justice.

Fun

Great story. Loved to feel the emotions of the first pioneers. They are strong people. Even though it is fiction it feels very real.

sweet story

The narrator was amazing! As a teacher, I really liked this story. It did a good job of showing how teachers really do get attached to their students and really care for them. I would say half of the story was about her as a teacher in the Backwoods and the other half (I actually started to wonder if there was a love story until more towards the end) was a sweet love story between her and a mountie... just a good old fashioned love story.

Love this series!

This is my fourth or fifth read/listen to this series (over the last 30ish years)! I just adore these books from Janette Oke and have done since my teens. This is a great introduction to Elizabeth and how she adapts to this new life!
