Review:
A Dream For Tomorrow picks up where Westward Hearts left off. Elizabeth Martin and her family are around the second leg of their journey to the Oregon coast. The travelers are finding that the most difficult part of the journey lies ahead. Whether it’s raging rivers to cross, or difficult mountain passes, they do their best to work together and support each other so that everyone makes it in the end. During the trip, Elizabeth gets a letter from her sister-in-law, Malinda, who they are going to stay with in Oregon. The letter was meant to reach the family before they left, warning them not to come, as the situation in the Oregon Territory is much worse than what she told them. This causes Elizabeth to question her judgment in packing up and heading west. In the meantime, Elizabeth’s feelings for Eli Kincade, the trail scout, are growing, but she fears it isn’t meant to be.
I was so excited for this book to come out! The first book ended in the middle of their journey and I couldn’t wait to find out what happened next! The characters and the setting of the story just come alive in my mind, and I can’t wait for the third book to come out!
