WARNING: SOME SPOILERS

     The most important event in One Came Home was when Agatha had left her family and town to leave all the stress that had happened. Agatha left because her sister, Georgie, saw Agatha kiss Billy McCabe, when Agatha was supposed to get married to Ben Olmestead. When Georgie actually saw the kiss she "snitched" on her own sister and told Mr. Olmestead that Agatha had kissed Billy. That is why Agatha left. I thought this was the most important even in the story because otherwise Agatha wouldn't have gotten killed, Georgie wouldn't have proposed marriage to Billy, Georgie and Billy wouldn't of almost gotten killed, and the book wouldn't of been written. It was mostly the most important even because Georgie went on the adventure with Billy and she faced many problems along the way.

     One problem the main character had to face was facing a crazy animal attack. Georgie was just on her donkey, Long Ears, and then out of nowhere a cougar comes out towards them. Georgie then tries to shoot the cougar but then drops the gun, and Georgie knows that if she gets of her donkey to get it the cougar would prance at her right away. She decided to throw everything she had in her saddlebag, napkins, plates, glasses, a book, and etc. She misses all the times, so she screams out "BILLY," and he comes on his horse and shoots, but misses, the cougar still runs away. Billy McCabe saved Georgie's life.

     Another problem that Georgie had to face was when she and Billy were in a gun fight. Two men came looking for them because they knew that Georgie had money, so those two men came to their resting place and while Georgie was in the woods Billy was being tied up by those two men. So Georgie gets her gun out and shoots the smaller guys thumb off, and then they start shooting back at her. They then leave with what they needed.

  1. Wow... this sound like a very interesting book. I would love to hear more about this book. There is one mistake I saw in the second paragraph, third sentence. You put "of" instead of "off". Other than that this was an excellent blog!
