From the award-winning author of Eliza Waite comes a gripping tale
of adventure and survival based on the true story of the ill-fated
Donner Party on their 2,200-mile trek on the Oregon-California
Trail from 1846 to '47. Nineteen-year-old Ada Weeks confronts
danger and calamity along the hazard-filled journey to California.
After a fateful decision that delays the overlanders more than a
month, she-along with eighty-one other members of the Donner
Party-finds herself stranded at Truckee Lake on the eastern side of
the Sierra Nevada Mountains, stuck there for the entirety of a
despairing, blizzard-filled winter. Forced to eat shoe leather and
blankets to survive, will Ada be able to battle the elements-and
her own demons-as she envisions a new life in California?
Researched with impeccable detail and filled with imagery as wide
as the western prairie, Answer Creek blends history and hearsay in
an unforgettable story of challenging the limits of human endurance
and experiencing the triumphant power of love.
