A sweet, easy to read book. No surprises and not much depth but enjoyable. (

This is Kristen Hannah's first novel. I have read several of her later efforts which are much better. I found this one tedious, so tedious that I gave up half-way through. The plot: Stone Man MacKenna has a trading post in the Yukon Territory, which is a tent. He advertises for a partner, expecting a man. What he gets is a 29 year old woman from St. Louis, Devon O'Shea. The story details their uncomfortable relationship, until, I assume they finally admit their love for each other at the end. (
