Six Decades of History Unfurls on a Wyoming Ranch
 
Journey to untamed Wyoming where four generations of women experience love, loss, grace, adoption, struggles with the law, relationships with natives, and through it all, family bonds.
 
Eleanor by Mary Connealy   
1850 – Wagon train guide, Ray “Wild Cat” Manning, can’t ignore the abandoned wagon stricken with smallpox. Eleanor Yates, now widowed with an ailing daughter, says yes to Wild Cat’s marriage of convenience. It is her only choice—but far from her romantic dreams.
 
Grace by D. J. Gudger   
1867 – Grace Manning abandons her journey east at Fort Laramie. The ranch is where she belongs. Unable to reach her father, Grace scrambles to find a way home. Captain Winfield Cooper is mustering out in a few short days. The gold fields at South Pass City are calling but a lonely laundress pleads to tag along with him and his motley men. Will this woman who refuses to unveil her face derail his dreams? 
 
Caroline by Becca Whitham       
1886 – Ray Cooper escaped reservation life by pursuing a degree from Harvard, but it hasn’t granted him the respect he craves in Washington, DC.

Penelope by Kimberley Woodhouse  
1910 - Penelope Cooper finally receives an offer to become a published author after pursuing her dream in New York City. But when she returns home, her family’s stories, the land of her heart, and photographer Jason Miller, cast doubt on her decision. Will rediscovering her past make Penelope reconsider her future?

Eleanor, Grace,Caroline, and Penelope are the legacy women of the Rocking K fat. Each woman weaves a story of her time and journey, beginning in 1810. Each story has a different author and their story is unique. The journey is hard, times of joy hardship and triumph. It was hard to put down at bedtime. The story ends in 1910 and you will be glad you read this book.
I also enjoyed two new authors whom I will look forward to reading again.

4.5 stars!

This novella collection by two familiar authors (Kimberly Woodhouse and Mary Connealy) and two new-to-me authors (D.J. Gudger and Becca Whitham) was so good! Each author contributed a story of a strong woman dealing with hardship in one way or another while maintaining their trust in God.

The four stories tie together well and it felt like I was reading one full novel instead of four short stories. The research into each time period depicted was evident and I loved learning about the Wyoming territory/state. There were some eye-opening truths regarding Native Americans that I found fascinating.

This group of novellas about a family in Wyoming is a very interesting series. They have touched on the prejudice towards native Americans. Also just how life changes over the generations. The importance of God and faith and trusting Him with your life. I'm not a fan of novellas, but I enjoyed this series an recommended it to any history lover.

This book is definitely one you want to read. The multiple talented authors did a wonderful job of making the stories fit together so fluidly. I enjoyed each story and didn’t want it to end but also found myself looking forward to the next one so I could continue reading about this amazing family. I enjoyed that they tackled some of the tough moments in history and showed the hearts of the people and how they truly may have acted. The faith aspect definitely blessed my heart. This book definitely put the spotlight on the importance of a relationship with God and a strong family bond. Love it!

This was a wonderful collection of stories following one family as they made a place in the west. It was encouraging and showed how faith and trust in God brought them through good times and hard times. Watching how people reacted to Grace's scars was sad, and seeing the "Indian problem" through Raymond's eyes was enlightening. Great stories.

I really enjoyed Ellie' story. It took her a while to see the treasure Ray was. There was nothing he couldn't do. And his parents taught him everything he knew. Amazing! Poor Grace was tortured by people. Her husband was a gem, too. Great stories!

I highly recommend this anthology about four generations of women (1850-1910) in Wyoming. The authors stitched their tales together seamlessly, and each one delivers strong a strong heroine and a swoony hero whose lives are faith-centered. There’s a good history lesson or two, as well.

I really loved this book with the 4 stories included. I especially appreciated the fact that they didn’t gloss over life as a Native American in the 1800’s. Highly recommended.
