I would like to have given it 3.5 stars, but not possible. Enjoyable historical fiction, but would have like to have heard less from the author and more from history.

This book causes you to go on the journey with Hig; the good, the bad and the ugly. It's about hope, in the face of seemingly insurmountable odds against it.

The writing was disjointed, as if it was written by different authors. It also read like a young readers book.
