Review of Everything She Didn't Say by Jane Kirkpatrick

Nutshell: It's 1877 and Carrie Strahorn is about to begin the biggest adventure of her adult life. Getting married and starting a cross-country journey to settle in the rugged west. Sharing her struggles on written paper, Strahorn documents her journey across the country.

What I thought: This was a very poignant and thoughtful read, heart-wrenching at times as the main character shared her deepest thoughts and bared her soul. Her high lights and disappointments. Her joys and her trials. Her struggles in her marriage and her journey of growing of who she was and how she grew up as a woman during this time. The most amazing piece about this book is that it is based on a true story. Knowing a woman went through all Strahorn did is pretty extraordinary.

Would you read this? If you enjoy a memoir type book, you will enjoy this book. The ebb and flow of Strahorn's words and journey will open your eyes to a totally new way of life that a lot of people don't know a lot about.

What I though: From the beginning of the first page, Lisa Harris weaves a story so suspenseful it's so very difficult to put this book down. With a heart pounding plot that keeps you up until the wee hours of the morning, it's a fantastic book that grabs your attention and keeps it until the very last pages. When you start this book, it takes just one page before the story launches right off the board and you better be ready to hold on! Lisa Harris knocks it out of the park once again and you won't be disappointed after you turn the last page.

Would you read this? If you enjoy thriller, mystery suspense, you will enjoy this book!
