My Review
'WHERE THE LOST WANDER:'
Is a full length historical romance novel by Amy Harmon. Spoken in 'dual perspectives.' This is Naomi & John's story.
Naomi May is a young widow travelling on a wagon train with her family heading out west. And John Lowry is the man leading this wagon train, a mule breeder, he's half white, and half indian with a name of 'Two Feet' meaning he has one foot in the white man's world and one foot in the Indian's world. But never feeling as though he fitted in either side of the fence.
John is a doer, a deep thinker, a man of few words, an observer.
Naomi, is an artist, a nurturer, a dreamer. Together they are perfection..
God where to start, this was just utterly amazing! I simply adored this story..Real, raw, riveting..
First off I loved the simplicity of this story being that there was Ωno added embellishment to make this believable, with this authors penmanship and her voice, I felt like I was there travelling this unforgiving territory traipsing through rough terrain seeking a place to call home, and that’s where the magic began as I sat here imagining all the people who had gone through unbelievable life changing circumstances like what were depicted in this story.
The losses, the hardships, all made for a riveting pull on your heart strings kind of read.
I was transported to another time, thrown headfirst into a prologue that forewarned me of what was to come. And as I raced through the pages experiencing their triumphs and heartache as though it were my own. I knew at some stage I'd be hitting an emotional game changer.
This was such a profound heartbreaking beautiful journey that was beautiful and ugly rolled up into one big ball of adventure.
