“Jane Kirkpatrick has, almost literally, created her own genre of fiction. Her books enfold…whisper, ‘Let me tell you about a woman who…’ They find a secret place in each of us and bring it gently to the surface.”–Salem Statesman JournalSuzanne felt the tears press at her eyes as the dream-state drifted away–taking with it the sight of the man she loved. Awake, she blinked back the tears. This was her life now. The sounds of the women and oxen, those were real. And the darkness–her darkness. She lay inside it, resigned. She was not a wife reaching out for her husband but a widow, a blind widow, wistful and full of desire.FACING CHALLENGES AND LOSS, A COMMUNITY OF EXTRAORDINARY WOMEN FIGHT TO OVERCOME THE PAIN OF THE PAST – AND EMBRACE THE FUTURE. When blind and widowed Suzanne Cullver reaches California with a group of women who have survived tragedy on the Oregon Trail, she sets her mind on doing for herself all that must be done. Though she cannot see, she rejects offers of assistance, unwittingly risking her children’s safety – and her own. Her companions blindly falter as well, held hostage by their own pasts. As Suzanne attempts to control her life in Shasta City, Ruth defends against past errors, failing to see how she limits love. Meanwhile, Mazy’s vision seems to be permanently clouded by her late husband’ s betrayal. But when a young stagedriver risks all for a Wintu Indian, his life becomes entangled with the turnaround women – and together they are changed forever as they discover that No Eye Can See all the good God has in store for those who love Him.

Jane Kirkpatrick's sequel serves up another wholesome read. We follow the women into Shasta City where their journey ends and the attempt to make a living and a home for themselves becomes their newest priority. Each woman must face their own issues and cope with their personal frailties. In the face of the gold rush, everything becomes more complicated and expensive. Should they ban together as before, or should they say goodbye and get on with their lives independently? This is another rich story guaranteed to prolong reader's fascination for this time period.
Jane's new book "No Eye Can See" is a continuation of the lives of the women you met in "All Together in One Place". We get to share the hardships and joys of these women during their journey to the West. They suffered great losses and yet gained friendships to last forever. The character Ruth is indeed intriguing. "All Together in One Place" hinted about her past, but now we finally get to learn what she is all about. The story unfolds and keeps you on the edge and wanting to read more. I could not put it down and found I did not want the book to end. There are some wonderful surprises in the story, and you just know that there is more to happen! The good news is that there is another book in this series. I shall be waiting when it comes out!
If you're looking for a wholesome, interesting story sprinkled with suspense, then you'll like this book. Some of the connections between the characters are a little far-fetched, but it 's easy to ignore that; just go along for the ride and enjoy it. I appreciate the way Kirkpatrick weaves Christian principals and messages into her stories.
This is the second book of the Kinship and Courage series. I enjoyed continuing the saga of the characters from the first book and seeing what happened next in their lives. I would highly recommend it.
Our book club read this series! What great conversations we had. The writing was so visual, you could picture what the characters looked like, how life would be on the trail. I appreciate Jane's writing because it has depth to it. I appreciate how she takes a little piece of a person, researches, and takes liberty to share about them. So the fiction has some truth about it and we learn something! Our book club will continue to have Jane's books in our cycles of reads!
After reading book one I felt that I needed to find out what happened to the characters so I purchased books two and three. The story is compelling. In some places it is heartwarming, in others it is heartbreaking. Just know that you will need to read book three to finish out the story.
This book, a continuation of All Together In One Place, was a bit slower than the first one. I enjoyed the story but felt that towards the end of the book when I wanted the action to continue uninterrupted, Kirkpatrick yet again explored how the characters feel about each other. This break in the flow, slowed me down and I actually started skipping the "feelings" paragraphs to get back into the flow of the action.That's the only reason I give it a 3 rating. I have become attached to the characters and will continue with the 3rd book soon.
I fell in love with the women in this series. I now have the first, second and third books. I am trying to buy the entire series, but they are expensive for my budget. Is therr any discount if I . buy the entire series. Reply and I will know if anyone reads this question.Marilyn Nicholsbrickie @unique-software.com
