6. REVIEW
The One Who Waits For Me begins with two
young women, Beth and Joanie.
After their parents have just passed, they
struggle to escape from their tyrant Uncle,
Walt, and his son Bear.
Trella, a young slave escapes with them. Along
the way, they meet three men who are heading
home after fighting in the Civil War, Preach,
Pierce and Gray Eagle.
In initially being kind and rescuing the women
from a fire, they unwittingly get tangled in
helping them escape their uncle.
7. I really enjoyed this book. It was fun to see Joanie and Beth’s eyes
and hearts open to the fact that not all men are bad.
Joanie’s faith was rooted deep from the beginning, but Beth’s was
not, however, with the help of different characters along the way,
Beth’s heart was softened as well.
This was a great read for anyone who enjoys Civil War era books.
