I couldn't believe Bourre was in the story! I do think Belle was either a little foolish for getting involved with Rafe and Bourre or maybe she was just ahead of her time. Since I am roughly the age Belle is in the story, I have to laugh about her calling herself middle aged and at her daughter thinking she was so old. I like so many of the rules--my favorite is probably the first one about guilt or 'A girl has to enjoy what she's got while she's still got it to enjoy.' I do think I could relate to Sissy's rules a little more, but I liked to read Belle's and think about how they evolved for Sissy.

But I LOVED Belle. She definately had more spunk.I felt like Sissy reacted to situations, whereas Belle created the situations! Belle is a witty, headstrong woman facing many obstacles not only in her own life (being a young widow, an overseer of her farm) but in society as well (rights of women, rights of blacks, the KKK and also Jewish prejudice). This book was a wonderful history lesson with a romance woven in. LOVED IT!! I read Sissy first and really liked her story. But I LOVED Belle.
