Jun. 9, 2008 - With Endless Sight by Allison Pittman - Book Review and Giveaway
When I returned from vacation, I had yet ANOTHER book to read! And while time has been quite scarce here, this book has been very enjoyable.
With Endless Sight is about a 14 year old girl who leaves her cozy home on an "adventure" with her family to the Oregon Territory. I haven't finished the book, yet, so I'm as anxious as anyone to reach the conclusion! The characters are masterful, the plot is wonderful, and the setting is within a time period I find fascinating.
Here is the book's summary:
Belleville, Illinois and Wyoming Territories, 1861
Born into a life of privilege, fourteen-year-old Belinda never questions her security, even as she leaves Illinois with her family to discover new adventures in the Oregon Territory . But when disaster falls, Belinda is left wounded, weak, and alone. Her faith in God gives her the only strength she knows in a harsh new world.
Belinda’s journey takes her to a snow-covered mining camp and a red-roofed brothel in the Wyoming mountains, but not before she must spend a lonely winter with the man who took away the life she knew. Throughout the grief and hope of a strange land, Belinda must decide if her faith is big enough to allow her to forgive.
With Endless Sight is a great read for anyone this summer and now here is YOUR chance to win a copy! Just post a comment below with your email and we will draw a winner on Saturday.

If you didn't draw a winner yet - add me. I bet Arielle would like this one. She liked the series about the Aurora colony in OR by Jane Kirkpatrick.
