Would have rated higher but was very unhappy with the ending. Feel like I wasted 2 day of my life that I should have spent doing something else. ( ) This book is for older students because of the text. This is about Aislynn Denehy in post-Civil War New York City. She can not find a job but that doesn't stop her because she believes in opportunity. She latter moves west to Utah. This book teaches a great lesson that anything can be accomplished with strong determination and a will to never give up on what you believe in. Denning provides a woman's perspective on life in New York just after the Civil War and then the struggles endured by women who "wagoned" west. The book protrays the struggle for women's rights as well as the social constraints thar men placed on women wirhout hesitation with women seen as their property. An interesting read. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
In post-Civil War New York City, sixteen-year-old Aislynn Denehy cannot find a job, she has no place to live and no family to help her. Some might think this is a problem; Aislynn believes it is an opportunity, but she has a lot to learn. No formulaic romance, this well-researched love story depicts life as it truly was for the thousands of women who went west reaching for a new life. Aislynn's journey begins in a New York City tenement and leads her across the frontier to a Utah mining camp where she must cope with the three very different men in her life: smart, solicitous Tim, good-natured, good-guy Johnny and the intense but intriguing Liam Moran. Life in the roughshod camp brings small joys and devastating losses. The novel races through authentic experiences involving historical events until it erupts in an unexpected ending. In today's troubled world, Far Away Home will make you believe no matter how many challenges fate sends your way, the human spirit can triumph. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
