Review # 1 was written on 2019-06-08 00:00:00 Joshua Schein Who knew there was such a thing as a Christian Western? Here it is. I liked it about meh level. I liked the prodigal son retelling aspect, but I couldn't relate to the main characters, and I just don't think Western is the genre for me. But I'm glad that our library reading challenge got me out of my comfort zone.

Review # 2 was written on 2021-06-06 00:00:00 Didier Tisch This installment follows the son of a Hawaii preacher as he attempts to flee his father's expectations and religion. Shipwrecks, robbery, success and failure in the gold digging of California, it's all here. Perhaps a bit too much bad luck coupled with a somewhat unpleasant main character made this book a bit harder to get through than its predecessors. Still, the authors' combination of thorough research and smooth writing style are commendable.
