If I could give this book more than 5 stars I would! A wonderful, clean historical with a strong and determined female lead character. I would recommend it to everyone!
What I think you should know:
One Hundred Valleys is historical fiction by Bonnie Leon. It is set in Oregon Territory in 1855. When Emmalin Hammond’s life as she knew it is unexpectantly ripped out from under her she undertakes the journey west to find the father she long thought dead.
What you might need to know:
Jacob Landon came to Oregon with his missionary family, however when they tragically died he was raised by local Bative Americans. During the book the government has started forcibly moving Native People to reservations. Some of this is shown in the book.
What i thought about this book:
Emmalin was raised as a pampered society lady, but when her parentage is revealed and she loses the people who she thought she was friends with she finds her true worth. I love her spunk and grit, in spite of her upbringing she is will and able to try new things. Yes at times she is selfish and winey, however if I had just lost everything I knew I would be too! Jacob was a wonderful character, I love how he is loyal to both his faith and his Native family. . Leon has written an interesting with captivating characters who I loved and would love to read more about specifically Charity!
