Letitia holds nothing more dear than the papers that prove she is
no longer a slave. They may not cause white folks to treat her like
a human being, but at least they show she is free. She trusts in
those words she cannot read--as she is beginning to trust in Davey
Carson, an Irish immigrant cattleman who wants her to come west
with him.
Nancy Hawkins is loathe to leave her settled life for the
treacherous journey by wagon train, but she is so deeply in love
with her husband that she knows she will follow him anywhere--even
when the trek exacts a terrible cost.
Betsy is a Kalapuya Indian, the last remnant of a once proud tribe
in the Willamette Valley in Oregon territory. She spends her time
trying to impart the wisdom and ways of her people to her grandson.
But she will soon have another person to care for.
As season turns to season, suspicion turns to friendship, and fear
turns to courage, three spirited women will discover what it means
to be truly free in a land that makes promises it cannot fulfill.
This multilayered story from bestselling author Jane Kirkpatrick
will grip readers' hearts and minds as they travel with Letitia on
the dusty and dangerous Oregon trail into the boundless American
West.
