Bestselling author Melody Carlson begins an inspiring new
series of adventure and romance on the Oregon Trail.
Kentucky, 1854—Elizabeth Martin has mourned her husband’s
death for three years, but now she feels ready to fulfill
the dream they had shared—to take their two children west.
The dream becomes reality when her middle-aged parents and
bachelor brother surprise her with the news that they want
to go as well.
After converting three of their best wagons to prairie
schooners and thoroughly outfitting them, the little party
travels from Kentucky to Kansas City, where they join a
substantial wagon train. Elizabeth soon finds herself being
drawn to the group’s handsome guide, Eli Kincade.
The long journey and deepening relationships challenge the
travelers to their core, and Eli’s mysterious past leaves
Elizabeth with more questions than answers. She knows
there’s no turning back, but she wonders, What have I
gotten myself into?
