Willow and Caleb are the best of friends. They both couldn't imagine being apart from each other. Willow didn't want to leave her home, her family and Caleb. Her parents insisted she leave the next day on a ship bound for the Pacific Northwest. It was her best chance to have a better life.
Caleb made sure Willow wouldn't be alone on this journey even if he had to break a promise to her.
A willow tree bends its branches towards water. It is resilient. It adapts to its environment. Willow does what she needs to. She is stronger than she knows. She can survive. She could survive without Caleb. But did she want to??
I was frustrated that Caleb and Willow didn't recognize or verbalize their true feelings for each other. They both were frightened of the change it would bring to their relationship if acknowledged. Can you imagine what could have been lost if it wasn't?
There were quite a few characters that I loved. Jonas, Isaac and Frannie were my favorites. They risked all to help Caleb and Willow out.
I was extremely pleased to see that there will be a continuation of this series, Bride Ships : New Voyages.
I was given the opportunity to obtain a copy of this book to review from the author.
