Description

In 1853, recently widowed Naomi May joins a wagon train bound for Oregon, seeking a new beginning for herself and her children on the uncertain frontier. Along the arduous journey, she forms an unexpected connection with John Lowry, a young guide of Pawnee and white heritage whose own past shapes his guarded view of the world. As the travelers confront harsh terrain, cultural conflict, prejudice, and the constant threat of loss, Naomi and John must find courage, compassion, and hope amid the wilderness. Richly atmospheric and deeply emotional, this historical novel explores resilience, belonging, grief, and the enduring power of love.
