This is the last chapter in the bottle trilogy. Covers the western United States and the history of the wagon trains going to California. Historically fascinating with the personal tale of young Otto, a newly arrived Russian immigrant to New York. Somehow, fate hooks him up to a lady and her bottle.

Oh my gosh I’m so sad I finished this book. It was so very interesting and such an easy read. The authors knowledge and detail of characters and description of events were amazing. I almost felt like I was on the wagon train with Otto a Russian Immigrant and his companions. It was exciting and I could hardly wait to read about his travels & adventures the next time I picked up the book. I would recommend this book to any one who likes a really great story.

My children love this novel! I have one child that is a voracious reader and another that I cannot get to pick up a book. Both children were engrossed in the adventures and could not put The Amethyst Bottle down. I highly recommend this book for children and adults alike.

A heartwarming feature of the book is trust , love and experiences they share.Linda Shields Allison is excellent at interweaving the lives of individuals into the tapestry of American history and her stories can be enjoyed by readers of all ages.A rattling good ride and I can not wait to see how the next protagonist in the series Yah Ying embraces the spirit and energy of her bottle and the life journey it takes her on.
