My thoughts-
Right after the title page of this book there is a page with the word endurance, it’s definition, and a verse, Philippians 4:13.
Endurance certainly is the theme for this book. Andrea decides that for her fifteenth birthday, she would like to go on the two-week cattle drive to Los Angeles. She discovers that it is much more difficult than she thought it would be. She has early mornings, mosquitoes, and a river, which is very difficult to get the cattle through. I really admired how well she stuck with her brothers and did not give up. I am sure there are many young adults her age today that would give up and demand to go back home. Andrea sets a good example for all young ladies. They must not give up, they can work hard with young men, and they can still be young ladies.
Heartbreak Trail was an excellent book. I highly recommend it to everyone. I cannot wait for the next book.
P.S. Even though it is the second book in the series, it is not necessary to read the other one first. You will want to read all of the books about Andrea after reading this one.
