In 1820, Clarissa Johnson joins a group of young missionaries
leaving New England and traveling by river to the Osage lands.
Together they face disease and danger that tests their courage and
fortitude along the months' long journey into the untamed American
West. Arriving in the Indian Country, the young missionaries
struggle to build a mission and school on the prairie and work to
bring education and the gospel to the Osages and Cherokees. Caught
in the middle of a feud between tribal leaders, the missionaries
must work to build trust with their Indian neighbors and members of
the nearby fur trading community. Slowly their school grows and so
does their relationships of friendship, Christian fellowship and
love. But Clarissa must deal with a deeply wounded heart and the
betrayal that caused her to flee her hometown to teach at the
mission school. Will she ever learn to trust again? Will love find
her in this untamed land?
