Born the daughter of a legal clerk in Indiana in the 1830s, Beth’s life seemed predictable, and her future mapped out for her. But when the rest of her family dies of the plague, Beth is married off to an older man who wants to join the settlers in Oregon. Having little choice, she agrees and reluctantly starts her new life. Her strength is quickly noticed by her new husband, as she insists on driving one of the wagons on their journey. While enjoying the view from atop a cliff during a rest stop, the ground collapses from beneath her. After searching for her for hours and finding no trace, the wagon train must go on without her. She awakens days later in a teepee surrounded by Indians. What dangers lie ahead for this young woman, and will she find the happiness that has eluded her until now?
It was a good read, it was not one of those you just can’t put down , but I could do other things I needed to, and I was eye always anxious to get back to my reading,
This was good read. I enjoyed the excitement of Beth's reduce 0 and felt her heartache of all her life's trauma! Beth lived in a time of harsh or unkind treatment. I would recommend this book to other readers for a excellent read!
