Addy Lockwood's life has turned upside down. Firstly, her mother had died when Addy was young. Following her mother, her father died. On top of that, the wild western show she has worked in since she was young closes down. Addy is thrust into a new life, one she is naive existed. Traveling with only a hired hand and an Indian chief from the once-thriving show, she tries to travel to the legendary valley her father had promised to take her to, and never did. She hopes she can reach this "Valley of Dreams" before winter, and the dangers of the black hills, swallow them.
I liked the plot of this book, except, however strange it sounds, it needed more conflict. It was almost too easy. I did love the descriptions, the characters, and the sweetness of the book. I loved how innocent and naive Addy was, as well as the emotions she fights through. On a cosmetic note, I liked the cover a lot, the swirled accents and the colors were beautiful together. Her longing look also is wonderful for the book. I would recommend this book to anyone who appreciates the beauty of the Black Hills, and also anyone infatuated with the old west. Overall, a Very, Very good book.
