Set in the Old West, this story plays true to the period and has a wonderful storyline. I totally enjoyed reading this book. The characters pulled me into the story. I enjoyed getting to know the characters in this book.
The book illustrates how sometimes a person can believe he or she is too far down the road of sin and bad choices to believe redemption is possible. Yet sometimes it takes courage to take the fork in the road that leads to redemption and God.
The boys’ story in this book broke my heart. Orphaned during the Civil War, life becomes hard. Few people have time or compassion for the boys. As they make their way west and into adulthood, they find themselves going down the road.
So if you like books set in the Wild West that pull you into the story, check out this book for yourself.

This is a very good book. It shows one road that two young boys might take when they find themselves the only family left after war hit their area during the civil road. These boys go out west and keep making poor life choices. Even with the poor choices the boys make I still had a soft spot in my heart for these boys. I received a copy of this book from Celebratelit for a fair and honest opinion that I gave of my own free will.
One of the best things about the author is the way she tells a story that makes you feel like you are a part of it. The writing style is perfect for the time period and the struggles are realistic and believable. I loved meeting Joshua and Johnathan and how determined they were to stick together. Being orphaned had to be so hard for them at a young age.
When a family takes them in for a bit I was struck by the obvious lack of faith in the family taking care of them. As they are sitting down to eat Jonathan asks if the are going to pray . Mrs Greer says, “I put this food on the table, not God.” Well that sure shook me up to hear so plainly what someone thinks about God. I didn’t like Mr. Greer at all. He was a mean man who hit his wife and barked orders. His treatment of the boys was horrible and I wanted to scream at them to run away.
The story is filled with adventure as the boy’s go out on their own. They see their share of violence and I could even understand why Joshua was angry at people and God. He feels like God has abandoned him and his brother. Will temptation overtake the boys? Will they fall away from their faith? There are so many wonderful lessons in the story that relate to the Bible.
The title is perfect for this story because when facing a difficult decision, one wrong turn can lead you into sin. The story spans several years and introduces Jeb, the oldest brother. He has become a preacher and is determined to find his brothers. You can sense the grief he feels knowing his brothers have gone astray. There is one very subtle but funny part in the story. When the brothers encounter a sheriff in town who they want on their side his last name is Fife. If you are familiar with shows you will understand the reference to that name. I just love it when an author puts in a little humor in a story that is mostly serious. This story is a wonderful look at praying, having faith and never giving up. I can’t wait for readers to get to know Joshua and Jonathan as they follow them on a journey to forgiveness and a great example of God’s mercy and grace.
“If you ever stray from the right road, God is merciful. Turn to Him , and He’ll direct your paths.”
I received a copy of this book from Celebrate Lit. The review is my own opinion.… (más)

This is the first book I've read by Tamera Kraft; it certainly won't be the last. I'll be looking forward to the rest of the volumes in the Ladies of Oberlin series.
