The Blizzard Bride by Susanne Dietze – A Book Review

   

I am still in love with the Daughters of the Mayflower series even after eleven books. It's not so much about the family connections as walking through America's history and frequently encountering events that I was unfamiliar with. In this case the event was the Children's Blizzard that struck the plains on January 12, 1888 in which 213 children perished. (Don't worry the author doesn't become overly focused on the depth of this tragedy.) I was also unfamiliar with how widespread the problem of counterfeiting once was in our country. (Please take time to read the 'Historical Notes' section at the end. It is quite interesting.)

While the mystery in this book is easily solved by the reader, the events leading up to the culprit's capture keep one totally engaged. The story's theme of forgiveness is well done. I am grateful to have received a copy of The Blizzard Bride from Barbour Publishing via NetGalley in exchange fro my honest opinion, which is that this is an great read. I was under no obligation to provide a positive review, and received no monetary compensation.
