But she will never forgive he lastest action: he has sent the love of Stephanie's life, Maxwell Harrington, to California to join the gold rush. Determined to be reuinted with Max, Stephanie stows away on the first ship she can find that's headed for California. When she's discovered, she's lucky that it's not by a crew member, but by a nice woman, Charlotte Kelly (Who was the main character of book two) and Charlotte's son, Jack. Charlotte decides to let Stephanie stay in her cabin, and it is that way that Charlotte makes it to California. But when she searches for Maxwell, she gets the shock of her life, and discovers he wasn't who she thought he was. Betrayed, Stephanie must start all over. Can she find a new love in Jack? And can she earn her father's forgiveness? This was a wonderful historical love story about a selfish girl maturing into an intelligant, courageous young woman who finds the true love of her life. I highly reccomend this book to teenage girls who love historical love stories.

I love this book! Katherine and Charoltte are two of my all-time favorite books. I read both of these classics when I was much younger but I still love them! I recommend both these amazing stories to anyone. They are romantic, interesting, thrilling, and historical. These two books will forever be among my favorite books.

Wonderful! 5 out of 5 stars.

This is definately one of my most favorite books. I first read it when I was 12-years-old when my sister and I took turns reading aloud one quiet summer day. Kathrine is a spunky, intelligent and funny herorine who captures your heart from the very beginning. A young girl who longs for adventure and who has incredible courage. I fell in love with 'Bold Will' and the rest of the endearing charactures from the start. It's one of those books that sucks you in from the first page to the last and leaves you feeling happy, satified, a sad to see it end!

I have read this so many times and I am sure that I will continue to read it many more times. This book inspired me to try to write my own stories and helped kindle my dream to be an author someday. So thanks, Cameron Dokey, for giving us such a great book!

Editorial Review:

Set against well-known historical events, this new Young Adult romance series centers on a hope chest that passes through the lives of various young women who respond to the challenges of their day. Sixteen-year-old Katherine rescues a handsome young stranger who is fleeing from the loyalists, and soon finds out her own father is secretly involved in American Patriot activities. Disguising herself as a boy, she sets out to help the cause of freedom and finds adventure and love along the way.

A wonderful continuation of the Hearts and Dreams saga. 5 out of 5 stars.

Teenage Charlotte Campbell was happy enough living on the Indiana frontier, in spite of her family's simple, meager lifestyle. But it's 1814, and war is raging. Fearing for their daughter's safety, Charlotte's parents send her east to stay with her aunt and uncle in Baltimore. But Charlotte isn't safe there, either. Not only are British ships threatening the city, but her uncle's mysterious midnight meetings begin to lead Charlotte to believe there may be a traitor in her own family. This book had pretty much everything in it: mystery, suspense, action, and of course, romance (Charlotte falls in love with Matthew, the grandson of Katherine, the main character in book one). I highly reccomend this series if you are able to find it, and you enjoy historical romances.

Editorial Review:

Charlotte is sent to live with her aunt in Baltimore to escape the threat of Indian attacks in the Indiana Territory. She finds herself surrounded by both enemies and patriots and doesn't know who to trust. There is a traitor among those she knows, and when she is kidnapped, she discovers the truth, and finds her destiny with her heroic rescuer.

An Awesome Book! 5 out of 5 stars.
3 of 3 people found this review helpful.

This book is really great! I've read all 4 of the books, and this is my favorite. It's about this shy girl,Carrie, who's always scared, sort of like chuckie on the rugrats. She meets this guy, and really likes him. His name is John Stapleton. All of Carrie's family is brave, her mom snuck on a boat, and followed the gold rush, just for the man she loved. This guy, John Stapleton, cares about other people,like the poor. But Carrie's friend, Jessica, who is VERY pretty, also likes John. This is the story of how carrie finds out who she is, and the story tells her life, and what happened to Carrie...
A great book, you have to read it!

Amid the Chicago Fire, a girl discovers strength within her. 5 out of 5 stars.
2 of 2 people found this review helpful.

Timid sixteen-year-old Carrie Kelly feels as though she lives in the shadows of her brave, independent, and courageous ancestors. She knows she'll never be as brave as her mother Stephanie, who found her true love after travelling to California during the Gold Rush. Carrie does fall in love, with handsome John Stapleton. But when Carrie's outgoing friend Jessica falls for John as well, Carrie knows she doesn't have a chance with him. But when the devestating fire of 1871 rages across Chicago, Carrie is separated from her parents. If she is going to survive and find her family again, she must reach within herself to find untapped depths of courage and strength that she never knew she had. Althought I wish that the Hearts and Dreams series could have continued beyond this book, I have no complaits about the book itself. It showed that you never know your own strength until you are tested, as evident in Carrie. I highly reccomend this to teens who like historical romances.

Editorial Review:

Timid and afraid, Carrie wishes she had the courage of earlier generations of brave and independent women in her family. When she's trapped in the middle of Chicago's raging fires, she finds the courage to save herself and others, and the passion to find the love she thought she had lost. .
