ABOUT THE BOOK
The Wilderness Is a Great Place to Hide

There are daily stresses placed on her in this unconventional role—and now a government official is asking her to sniff out counterfeiters. When Elijah Johnson passes through on the stage while on an exhausting quest to find his boss’s heir, he doesn’t want to leave the beguiling station manager. In fact, he may never leave when caught in the crossfire of the territory’s criminal activities. Jackie can’t decide if Elijah is friend or foe. Can she remain strong when secrets of the past and present are finally unearthed?

MY REVIEW
I finished this great book last night. It was so very good that I couldn't put it down!!
I was very excited to learn that it was about the pony express!! Not much is written about the pony express and it plays a great part in our mail's history.
This story is very exciting!! I felt like I was one of the riders delivering the mail and it went from East to West. I thought to myself what about from the South to the North? Doesn't mail have to run that way too?
I loved Jackie from the start. Her personality is awesome!! I think I'd love to have her as an older sister to look up to. I connected with her right away! She sure knows her stuff and I love that her heart is for the Lord. It shows in everything she does!
I liked Elijah too. Even though his heart is in the right place he still has a lot to learn.
I wanted to hold him and take care of him throughout the whole story. He is my hero!! and so is Mr. Crowell! I liked Mr. Crowell immediately as well. His personality is wonderful!
I loved the mystery that went on in this book. Of course, I"m a pretty good guesser at the whole done it stuff especially as the author writes the minute Jackie said something to Mr. Williamson his face changed into a frown and shoved her out the door rather rudely I might add.
I love this author and I will look forward to more stories written by her.
I received a copy from Netgalley and no compensations were received. All opinions are my own!!
