I originally wanted to read this book because I'd heard Jamie, Claire and Ian from Outlander were mention in the story. It is true but I also discovered a very compelling tale about another family. 
 For me Diana Gabaldon's Outlander Series is one of the best examples of a entertaining series which spans the lives of one family. So stumbling into another great series that covers not only the romance of a couple but the family they create and their childrens' lives. Now, this isn't the first time I've read this book so I am telling you that this series does span the majority of Elizabeth and Nathaniel's lives but for this book it is really about their courtship and the love they find with one another. 
 Again, I compare many stories to Outlander but Into the Wilderness can stand all on it's own for having good writing, a great couple and a very simple and honest romance that stems for more than just lust but a true friendship and partnership between husband and wife. 
 Yes, this book is a sequel to The Last of the Mochians movie (not the book) but despite that going against it, it is a very good book that continues into being a great series. 
 Even in this book you find yourself intrigued but characters in the village, Nathaniel's daughter Hannah, and the man that caused our couple so much trouble, Richard Todd. 
 I would definitely recommend this book!
