My Thoughts on Trail of Secrets

What a fun novel!  I love stories about the wagon trains west and the individual lives of the people who made the journey.  This is a fiction account but I love to think that parts really did happen. 

Let’s think of this.  Women needed to go west for several reasons but often they weren’t allowed.  You had to have a man with you to go west.  So what if you were a single female or a female head of the household?  What then?  How could you get your family west?

In this book, our lead female disguises herself as a man so that she and her sisters can make the trip.  

Quick fact.  This is part of a series.  You can read it as a stand-alone but you’ll get the most enjoyment by reading the series as it’s written and in order. 

I loved the characters and how their stories played out.  It was fun to watch them grow and change and see where they were meant to be. 

If you read the first book this one takes up right where it left off.

About the Author of Trail of Secrets

Lacy Williams wishes her writing career was more like what you see in Hallmark movies: dreamy brainstorming from a French chateau or a few minutes at the computer in a million-dollar New York City penthouse. In reality, she’s up before the sun, putting words on the page before her kids wake up for the day. Those early-morning and late-night writing sessions add up, and Lacy has published sixty books in a decade, first with a big-five publisher and then as an indie author. When she needs to refill the well, you can find Lacy birdwatching, gardening, biking with the kiddos, or walking the dog.

Exploring birth order in fictional characters

Are you a firstborn? Middle child? Baby of the family? I’m not versed in all the psychology or science of birth order but I can tell you that I knew my second-born had a different personality from my first-born within a few hours of his birth.

I am two years older than my brother and four years older than my sister. We’re all three different. I get along with my siblings in different ways. We enjoy doing different activities together.

I love reading books with strong sibling ties. And in my books, I often like to explore the relationships between siblings. I like to play with the dynamics between brothers or have squabbling sisters (that truly love each other, deep down). And my new book TRAIL OF SECRETS is no different!

Heroine Stella is the oldest child. When her father died, she took responsibility for her two sisters. She kept the family together (even in an unconventional way) and she’s going to get the three of them to Oregon. No matter what.

Hero Collin is a middle child and a twin. He’s a peacemaker and a protector. And he drives Stella a little bit crazy with his ability to always look on the bright side. Their personalities clash but only in the best way.

After a tornado ravages the wagon train, Collin and Stella have to work together to survive and rescue family members. Can their differences be strengths when they partner up?
