From the bestselling author of Prayers for Sale, Sandra Dallas's
Westering Women is an inspiring celebration of sisterhood on the
perilous Overland Trail
*"*Exciting novel ... difficult to put down." --Booklist
If you are an adventuresome young woman of high moral character and
fine health, are you willing to travel to California in search of a good
husband?
It's February, 1852, and all around Chicago, Maggie sees postings
soliciting eligible women to travel to the gold mines of Goosetown. A
young seamstress with a small daughter, she has nothing to lose. She
joins forty-three other women and two pious reverends on the dangerous
2,000-mile journey west.
None are prepared for the hardships they face on the trek or for the
strengths they didn't know they possessed. Maggie discovers she's not
the only one looking to leave dark secrets behind. And when her past
catches up with her, it becomes clear a band of sisters will do whatever
it takes to protect one of their own.
