A Big Sky Christmas by William W. Johnstone and J.A. Johnstone is an adventurous, exhilarating Western novel, which introduces readers into the lives of American Frontier men and woman. A rough and tough frontiersman-drifter stumbles across a town in Kansas City, Missouri, only planning to stay a few days to explore the town, rest his horse, enjoy a meal, and rest himself. Unbeknownst to him, he would end up doing just the opposite of what he planned, and enter into the fast paced, hard living, wide-open frontier once again, but this time not alone.
Life in America during the late 1870s in the Mid-West was not an easy one. The author depicts a time of hardship, rough terrains, guns, battle, raids, outlaws, pioneers, and Indians. The story provides readers with a vivid picture of different life styles, mannerisms, careers, religions, environment, and struggles that so many Americans often endured during the time of the "Oregon Trail." The author writes in a very personable, relatable style to portray the story, with its many different character types, remarkable plot twists, and compassionate love story. A reader will find the text, style, and contents, an easy read.
Having never read the author's previous books, I was not familiar with some characters mentioned in other novels. However, this exhilarating tale of the Western frontier can be read alone with no prior knowledge of the author's other works. The book offered a great deal of emotion, different characters, and situations, thus allowing its audience to enjoy a delightful read.
