This was a unique read dealing with the Yellowstone National Park and the CCC during the 1930s. With accurate historical details about nature and the park, this is a must-read for anyone that loves the outdoors.
The descriptions of the park were riveting and the story came with a small mystery. With all of the plot twists, I could not guess the ending.
The friendship between Elsie and Mary was pleasant to read about as they supported each other in their dreams and future. I would have liked seeing more of the friendship near the end of the novel when the plot started focusing more on Elise and Nate.
Overall, this historical novel was well-written with a strong plot and I cannot wait to see more from the author in the future.
