Reviews (Excerpts)

- "Finally, all four of the Prescott Pioneers Series are published and all in one place! These books grab your interest/attention from the first few pages until the last page of the final book. The characters in the book feel like a close friend or relative and there are many areas where one can relate to the subject at hand. Historically, they are accurate...I checked much of the detail and was pleased at what I found. And because of this fact, I plan on doing some exploring since moving to Arizona two years ago." - Fae Dunn

- "A Christian Historical Romance that is full of intrigue, suspense and in depth realistic characters. I can identify with Mary Colter's character, as her story developed so did the strength of her spirit, stalwart example for women everywhere. The story is so well written and descriptive, I am looking forward to visiting the Prescott Arizona area. Karen Baney is an author that I would recommend to my daughters; her stories have strong morals and teachings. I received a complimentary copy of this book in order to review it. " - Jeri Jo Cxx

- "[...] I love how the author tell at the end of each book, the events that actually took place in history and any changes she made to events to make the story flow smoothly. These stories contain a lot of history. of course being 4 in 1, each story is about 25% of the total 100% of the ebook. I am hoping to see many more books by Karen Baney. This has been hard to lay down i kept wanting to continue reading to see what would happen next. This set contains romance, hurt, need to forgive, salvation, I guess it contains Life as we all have trials in life.[...]" - Marlene Miller
