This would be a great book for a young adult to read. It is a love story, but so much more than that. I love that the main characters, who are young adults, show respect and kindness to others in their daily lives. They learn some tough lessons about forgiveness, love and loyalty. Dove, our heroine has a native American heritage and faces a tough time with people who can't accept her for who she is rather than her race. Luke, who wants to be with Dove, has to understand and overcome the disapproval of his Mother and still behave with respect. Add in greedy neighbors who want to steal land and will stop at nothing to get it, and there are many facets to this story. Dove and Luke along with their good friends Martin and Sarah mature in their Faith as well as discover that healing is possible even for Luke's Mother.
This is a well written story that shows a glimpse of early American living. It combines a love story, a struggle to protect a town and families from a dangerous neighbor, and shows that love and forgiveness can heal even life's toughest wounds.
