In this epic and haunting love story set on the Oregon Trail, a family
and their unlikely protector find their way through peril, uncertainty,
and loss.
The Overland Trail, 1853: Naomi May never expected to be widowed at
twenty. Eager to leave her grief behind, she sets off with her family
for a life out West. On the trail, she forms an instant connection with
John Lowry, a half-Pawnee man straddling two worlds and a stranger in
both.
But life in a wagon train is fraught with hardship, fear, and death.
Even as John and Naomi are drawn to each other, the trials of the
journey and their disparate pasts work to keep them apart. John's
heritage gains them safe passage through hostile territory only to come
between them as they seek to build a life together.
When a horrific tragedy strikes, decimating Naomi's family and
separating her from John, the promises they made are all they have left.
Ripped apart, they can't turn back, they can't go on, and they can't let
go. Both will have to make terrible sacrifices to find each other, save
each other, and eventually...make peace with who they are.
