Suzann Ledbetter's sense of humor is laced throughout Redemption Trail, a tail of Western adventure and romance. Abigail Fisk stands up to the Colorado wilderness and a tough men, proves herself more than their equal, and comes out a winner. Based upon actual diary entries, the reader gains insight into the tribulations of those who would prosper in the West, as well as into the sentiments of the Union and Confederate sympathizers at the time. The publisher should keep Redemption Trail in print.
