Taming the Twisted is written in a similar style to Laura Ingalls Wilder's Little House books though updated for modern times. It might read as if she'd left in all of the juicy tidbits about things people didn't talk about during the time when she was writing. Taming the Twisted is a story of destruction, romance, mystery, and deceit set against a back drop of an actual historical event. In early June, 1860, Abigail enjoyed a peaceful home life with her parents, younger sister, and twin toddler brothers. Their home in Camanche, Iowa, where they’d emigrated from Pennsylvania, was almost complete and her beau, Joseph Sund, had recently proposed marriage. That changes the evening of June 3rd when a tornado rips through town, killing her parents. At the mass funeral for the over two dozen people who perished in the storm, she learns Marty Cranson, with whom Abigail witnessed Joseph having a heated argument, died, but at the hands of a person rather than the tornado. In addition to being faced with raising her young siblings, Joseph has disappeared without a trace and a stranger, Marshall Stevenson, appears, offering to help Abigail repair the families’ home and cultivate the newly planted farm crops. Abigail, while developing romantic feelings for Marshall, tolerating the scorn of town woman Pamela Mackenrow, and working as a seamstress and storekeeper to support her siblings, becomes obsessed with finding out who killed Marty, hoping that and not that he no longer loved her, was the reason Joseph left without saying goodbye.

A tornado tore through Comanche, Iowa on Sunday, June 3, 1860 killing many people and damaging homes and farms. Toohey uses the storm to launch Abigail Sinkey into adventures and takes the reader along.A few days before the storm Abigail was engaged and planning her wedding when her young man suddenly told her he had to leave town. He left without saying goodbye. That was the beginning of just one of the mysteries in this fast-paced novel.When the storm was over, Abigail realizes that she must care for her mischievous twin brothers and her sister as well as rebuild their home, and manage the farm. Fortunately help arrives in the form of a resourceful young man.Interesting characters, small town gossip, scandal, and mystery fill the pages as well as well-researched tidbits of information about living on a farm near a small town in rural Iowa. Toohey takes the reader on a bumpy ride while Abigail solves the riddles of who did what to whom. Lots of surprises along the way.Everyday things from the past like cooking breakfast eggs in a kettle of boiling water, and how much a pound of coffee costs at the country store are tucked into nearly every page. I highly recommend it for young adults and more mature readers alike.A review copy was provided by Ms. Toohey.
2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Great Story! By Jon A. Ripslinger When a tornado rips through Camanche, Iowa 1860, it destroys, buildings, kills people, and changes lives forever. Seventeen-year-old Abigail suddenly finds herself the head of a family of four: her sister Alice and her twin brothers Samuel and David—all younger than she. Did the tornado kill her boyfriend Joseph? Did someone kill him out of revenge? Or did he use the storm as opportunity to ditch Abigail? When a new man enters Abigail's life, ugly rumors fly—she's a loose woman, a hussy, certainly not someone fit to raise a family.Taming the Twisted presents an intriguing story filled with wonderful, authentic detail of life on Iowa's prairie during the1860s.

I was fascinated by the plot- lives changed because of a natural disaster. Abigail has a cute and peaceful life with her family in a small town. Getting ready to start a new life with her finace Joseph Sund, it seems that she has everything any one could want. When the tornado hits her community she finds herself taking care of her siblings, no home, and stripped of everything she grew up knowing and loving-including Joseph. Abigail is scared and confused but she to be strong for her younger siblings. When Joseph disappears she is offered help by Marhsall Stevenson.As the story unfolds Abigail is faced with rebuilding a life for her and her family. Her loyalties have changed and she is suddenly thrown into figuring out how she feels about Marshall, what she should do about the death of one of the members in her community.I really enjoyed "Taming the Twisted" by Jodie Toohey. I think she really brought to life the characters, I loved Abigail-admired her, and cheered for her when she faced so many challenges. A sucker for romance , I was sucked into Abigail's and Marshall's story. I loved the tension that the murder brought to the story and I think that the author really knew when to make it an issue and when to focus on other aspects of the story.
