Emma of
Aurora by Jane Kirkpatrick
Set in the 1850s Emma is a young woman living in Bethel,
Missouri with her family. But when her beliefs clash with their colony leader, troubling
times are yet to come. Emma embarks on journey that will forever change her
life. Emma
of Aurora is the complete trilogy that follows the true story of Emma Wagner
Giesy. What first intrigued me about this book was that it was based on a true
story. I was excited to start reading
this massive book. But I was soon sadly disappointed when I began reading it. I
could not get myself immersed into the story. It does have quite a slow beginning,
and I found myself wanting to skip certain parts in the book that I found to
slow. I did start enjoying it when it started to pick up a bit, but then it
would have another dead part. Overall
I give this book three out of five stars. Although it was a slow start if I
really wanted to I could push myself through the book. I thought it was beautifully
written, and possible will read it again.
I received this book for free from Blogging for Books for this review
