Why read it?

1 author picked A Sweetness to the Soul as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

This story takes place in the 1800's in the area where I live, so it holds a special connection for me. But beyond that it is an interesting tale of real-life struggles and overcoming those obstacles. The book describes frontier life in an authentic and stirring way. The local author knows the history and facts of the area and weaves them well into the story.

From Bruce's list on entertaining a restless mind.
