Book Review of: Journey to Nowhere - Mary Jane Auch

After the War of 1812, Remembrance "Mem" Nye and her family relocate from Connecticut to the unsettled area of western New York. Mem believes it is a complete journey to nowhere in the great wilderness with just endless forest. Along this adventure, Mem's family encounters the perils of wild animals, raging storms, and cruel strangers. (written by me)

I was not totally enthralled with this story like I was with Princess Academy or the Land of Elyon series (which I will post book reviews on), but I did enjoy Auch's book. She portrays an eleven year old girl in the spring of 1815, on the prairie with her family of four.

    I have never read (in all my reading years) a history fiction before now. I did, however, appreciate Auch's work and research she put into this book. I doubt anyone under the age of nine would like Journey to Nowhere. 

    

There was brief violence in Journey to Nowhere such as drinking, smoking, and knives. There were no bad words, if I remember correctly.

With that I give this book 4 stars. 

This is my first book review and I assure you, they will get better!

Raindrops and such

No, I don't like rain - unless it stops long enough for me to go take some pictures! 

And no, I don't normally take selfies. Just saying.

Oh, and the photo contest is ending on the 18th. Click HERE to go to the contest page. Enjoy!

As near as my heart

As near as my heart

by yours truly

I close my eyes only to realize
No matter how much time we spend apart
You're always as near as my heart.

I plug my ears to reality knocking at my door,
Telling me to say goodbye to the person I adore.

With a sigh I say goodbye
And with tears filling my eyes I cry.

I wrote this for no one in particular, but maybe you can relate. : )

I took photos of my parents' wedding rings with the Bible. I never thought to post them, but the poem matched.
