THE MERCER GIRLS BY LIBBIE HAWKER is an historical fiction set in a very small industrial (or what used to be) town after the Civil War. No jobs & no hope three women , each of different circumstances take a huge bet ($250.00) to travel out to Washington state with Mr. Mercer.
Huge characters here each of a different social status & personality. You cant help but be absorbed in their lives & this novel. The setting is perfect, set when the entire country is reeling from the Civil War. You want to know these women & help them fight for their survival & lives.
I recieved this book from goodreads in exchange for a review.
