On May 13, 1945, 24 American servicemen and WACs boarded a transport plane for a sightseeing trip over “Shangri-La,” a beautiful and mysterious valley deep within the jungle-covered mountains of Dutch New Guinea. Unlike the peaceful Tibetan monks of James Hilton’s best-selling novel Lost Horizon, this Shangri-La was home to spear-carrying tribesmen, warriors rumored to be cannibals. But the pleasure tour became an unforgettable battle for survival when the plane crashed. Miraculously, three passengers pulled through.

After a visit to the Holocaust Museum in Budapest and the ghettos of Prague, I have spent a year studying the holocaust. This is a wonderful story. It really tells the story of how the holocaust Broke families apart And destroyed generations and culture.And that it Extended over decades of anti-Semitism. The absolute beauty and depth of these characters who were deemed pigs by their detractors brings history to life. With several wonderful twists and turns.

Eighteen-year-old Pearl Hardisty discovers the small town of Silver Lake in Eastern Oregon has more to offer than dry sage brush, old farmhouses, and unbearable freezing cold winters when she met Frank Bunyard. The kindhearted, handsome cowboy made her glad she decided to move with her family after all. Through stories Frank shares with her, she learns about friendship, survival, and an unforgettable story of privation and loss from a small band of Modoc Indians who were left behind after the Modoc war.

I have carried this book around for 6 months and didn't crack it open as I am so busy with grant writing, etc. When the book came out out on audible, I was thrilled. I "read" it over the weekend while gardening, driving, carrying out household chores. This is a wonderful story that is actually rooted in a significant Oregon historical event in the 1850s. This would be a great story for a family to read together to study Oregon and the history thereof. The reader did a great job of Irish and German (as many of the settlers were....many don't know that!) and just an enjoyable story all the way around. While there was tragedy and loss, there was also hope and opportunity. Velada! Keep writing! With all of the darkness in our world today, it is nice to go back to the early pioneers and life on the farm/ranch. This was a great escape and has piqued my interest in the pioneer genre and early American life and the challenges and daily vicissitudes. I recommend!
