"Get to Independence Rock by the Fourth of July if you want to make
it through the mountains before the snow flies." Gloriana Jude is a
Kentucky girl determined to be part of manifest destiny; her goal
to march across a continent to make her stamp on history. Risking
everything, she and her husband and son leave the narrow hollows
and sheltering hills of Wolf Creek, resolved to make a home in the
West. Catastrophe waits at every river crossing; disease and
destitution strike the unwary. When a head injury to her husband
threatens their trip, she wonders if the risks outweigh the
rewards. An Army patrol is there to lend security to the wagon
train, but there's an Army scout who has her feeling anything but
secure. At Fort Laramie, she meets Gregor, disinherited by his
family and cast out to die. Who can she trust? Is this too much for
a girl from Wolf Creek? Will they make it across the mountains in
time?
