Why read it?
1 author picked Give Us This Valley as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I loved the story of sixteen-year-old Lizzie, who married Mister Stonecypher in 1837 because “she wouldn’t have hurt his feelings for the world.”
All of the classic pioneer story elements are here, as backdrop to the tale of Lizzie and Wash coming to know and love each other. I loved the grit and authenticity and the touches of humor. I felt compelled to keep reading, especially during a harrowing journey through a blizzard, and was emotionally engaged from start to finish.
From Linda's list on American historical novels featuring young heroines.
