Unconquered Horses: Women on the WWI home front. Army Remount horses. Woe to the faint of heart. By Lyn Miller

Unconquered

It took me way to long to read this book. It was a good read but the first half of the book was a tad slow and repetitive for me. I loved being able to relate to the characters and I like the values and faith Lyn Miller has in her books. Paperback
