Heart of the Wilderness // Book Review

From the Back Cover:
George McMannus traveled night and day from his wilderness cabin when the tragic news that his daughter and son-in-law had died in a river accident. His only granddaughter, Kendra Marty, not yet four years old, had been left behind. McMannus was her only family, but what could a trapper, living alone in the backwoods, do to care for Kendra?

She was such a tiny thing, so small to have lost so much. He should have known from the first time he looked into those large green eyes that the two of them belonged together. The one small child, firmly clutching a worn rag doll, was his, and he was hers.

Papa Mac, as Kendra came to call him, knew her place was with him. But what kind of home, what kind of training, could he provide in a wilderness mountains and trees and rivers that no one had even named? Although he did not have answers, he felt he must at least try.

Heart of the Wilderness is a really good book. It has a nice sweet story and the characters were all great. I really liked Kendra. The book started when she was almost four years old and it was fun to watch her grow up from an adorable little girl to a sweet young lady.
I would definitely recommend this book.

I give this book 8.5 out of 10 R's
