The Dawson family, Asa and his wife Clare, their son
Matthew and his wife Jess and their widowed daughter
Elizabeth Martin and her children J.T. and Ruth, have
finally ended their trek along the Oregon Trail, but the
adventure isn't over. Now it's time to make A HOME AT
TRAIL'S END.
Eli Kincaid, their scout along the trail, has returned and
asked Elizabeth to marry him and Elizabeth agrees. The
children are thrilled but minor problems hold up the
wedding. Eli needs to build a home for them but has to help
the others with their housing first. And her best friend
Malinda (widow to her late husband's brother) is planning
her wedding to Will Bramford, another member of their
train, and she doesn't want to complicate things for the
people who will attend both weddings. On top of setting up
their farms, they find they are also dealing with
prejudices, a hell and brim-fire preacher, a little bit of
petty jealousies as well as building up a new town and all
the political problems that entails. The Dawson's and
Kincaid's have a plan; they will work hard and leave the
rest in God's hands.
A HOME AT TRAIL'S END is the final chapter to the Homeward
on the Oregon Trail and I am personally saddened that this
is true. I loved this family and the group of people that
had traveled to the new land with them. As a reader I
enjoyed the way they dealt with all the hardships on the
trail and then with the settling into a new life. Author
[Melody Carlson] has a way with storytelling that has you
feeling involved with the trials and tribulations, the joys
and sorrows that befall this family. If you haven't read
this series, and enjoy a family based touch of the wild
west that saw our country expanding, I certainly recommend
all three -- Westward Hearts; A Dream for Tomorrow and of
course A HOME AT TRAIL'S END.
Bestselling author Melody Carlson (more than 5 million books sold) continues her Homeward on the Oregon Trail series with this third and final adventure. Elizabeth Martin and her two children have finally reached the Oregon Country. But Eli Kincade, the wagon train scout who captured her heart, has chosen to continue life on the trail. As other pioneer families begin building new homes, Elizabeth has never felt more alone. However, when Eli unexpectedly returns, confesses his love, and proposes, Elizabeth accepts with her family's blessing. A community begins to take shape, but not without growing pains. As an alternative to the local minister's fiery sermons, Elizabeth's father begins to preach at home, raising the ire of some. Racial biases arise against Brady, Elizabeth's African-American hired hand. Eli's warm sentiments toward Indians also raises concerns. Can Elizabeth and her family overcome these differences and begin a legacy of reconciliation and love? About This Series: The Homeward on the Oregon Trail series brings to life the challenges a young widow faces as she journeys west, settles her family in the Pacific Northwest, and helps create a new community among strong-willed and diverse pioneers.
