Description
In 1849 Missouri, fifteen-year-old Samantha dreams of returning to New York City and pursuing a life as a professional violinist. After a devastating tragedy forces her to flee, Samantha disguises herself as a boy and joins Annamae, an enslaved girl seeking freedom, on the perilous Oregon Trail. Facing harsh terrain, prejudice, violence, and the constant threat of discovery, the two girls forge an unlikely friendship and rely on one another to survive. Richly atmospheric and deeply compassionate, this historical novel explores courage, identity, freedom, and the transformative power of friendship against the vivid backdrop of the American frontier.
