I love this book, "Passages," because I felt as if author Anne Hamre took me on a journey, following the fictionalized version of her ancestors. From the initial meeting between Anne Roberts and Frank Evans, we are privy to the development of their relationship - from friendship, to courtship, to marriage.
Anne's patience is sorely tried as Frank experiments with several plans to be able to start a dairy farm. Wales is not promising, so he tries Australia, and finally British Columbia. The author is a historian, so she combines meticulous research with the voice of a gifted story teller in crafting a novel around the bare facts she has unearthed about her adventurous ancestors. This book is informative and inspiring.
Enjoy!
