Fabulous Fiction for the Final Days of Summer
I have gathered together several books to round out your summer reading. Due to the many outstanding books I am recommending, I will shorten each review and expand the number of books.

One group sent to establish one of these communities was sent to the hot, desert area along the Muddy River. The desert climate and poor soil added to this group of pioneers' hardships.
