Amanda a book by Candice F. ransom, it's a book that has a lot of love in it. This book you would love to read it when you're sad, girls would love to read it when they just broke up with his boyfriend or something. It's a very interesting book that talks about love and engagement and how just a woman can make the difference and manage many tasks that life puts in the way.
Amanda Bentley, I 18 year old, women that lives in Boston with his father, she is the pretty popular girl, she is in loved with Joseph and they are engaged.
One day everything changed for Amanda they had to leave Boston as fast as they could because his father was having problems in there. So they did.
Amanda left Joseph and held to Oregon.
In the way to Oregon she meets new friends in which there was Ben Compton which Amanda loved secretly. She meets with Indians she fights with them. She had to suffer losses and she survives them all. She and Ben get engaged. She thought she hated him father because he was so stubborn until things get harder and harder that she couldn't handle any more and she had to make many things by her own and she wasn't strong enough. She starts thinking that she is weak and she is just a woman but then Ben makes her understand.
I loved it this book is the best book ever I didn't though a book could be that interesting .even if you don't like love storys you can learn a lot about it.

I would suggest this to anyone. Even if they don't like romantic books, it has a good message. When I first started the book I was excited because I'd read the reviews and everything and it sounded really good. But in the beginning, I found, it was a little slow moving, I was kind of disappointed. She did a lot of reminiscing, and stuff like that. But I stuck with it, and I found it was well worth the wait! Toward the end she is a spirited girl, who could pull her own weight. It was interesting to see how her strength matured throughout her journey. I would suggest this, or any other sunfire book, to anyone.

I admit, I don't usually read this type of book, but this time, I needed a really, really! light read. I almost didn't read the whole thing, because Amanda was quite annoying in the beginning, but she got better as the trip to Oregon progressed. Of course, Amanda is the sort of cliche book that I usually scorn, but hey! go ahead and read it; there's a nice, happy ending.
