Assess Based On Books Oh, Kentucky! (Gentry #1)

I loved this story. I've read it over and over again. It is my favorite type of book, historical fiction. It does have some parts you should skim over.

This was a light historical fiction novel with a good deal of romance. By light I mean it was not heavy with details, minutia, a cast of thousands and textbook accuracy that bogs down more "serious" historical novels for me anyway. I like for historical fiction to invite me into the place and period, to get a feel for how folks experienced everyday life, the range of emotions and their growth through the journey. Betty Layman Receveur achieved that well here. Her heroine, Kitty is a fictional

Typical frontier novel with a splash of romance (forced on the author by her publisher). This was originally going to be a slice of life kind of book, and the great about of everyday details reflects that. Only like 2 cringy sex scenes. The only thing that bothered me in this book is more than once she mentioned the naked bodies of children in a kind of cringy, unnecessary way.

I love historical fiction and I'm also originally from Kentucky. This was a great read!

This is the story of the fictional Kitty Gentry and her family as they leave their home in North Carolina to start a new life in the Kentucky wilderness, from the Cumberland gap to the new settlement of Fort Boonesborough. And yes, we see plenty of Dan'l Boone and others too. While the Gentry family builds their new home and plants the land, the ever present danger from the Indians constanly threatens the safety of the settlers, and the revolutionary war rages on in the east. Tragedy strikes for

I honestly thought this book was a classic; after all, all of my friends read it in high school. Then I went to buy it for my Kindle and realized that you can't buy it AT ALL, and its not at all popular. I found my old paperback copy and reread it--it should be a classic! I love the history in it, and the love story. Its every bit as good as other newer historical fiction, and especially interesting for anyone who lives in this part of the country. The author tries very hard to be historically
