In 1872, thirteen-year-old Will Curtis isn't prepared for the
changes that are about to occur in his young life. His mother died
six months ago while giving birth to his youngest sister, Anne.
Will is not pleased when his Pa, a cantankerous self-ordained
minister, introduces him to his new stepmother, eighteen-year-old
Mary. Will initially resents the pretty young woman, but he is
eventually overcome by her charm.
Soon after Mary's arrival, the family is guided by Will's
forty-year-old uncle, Zeke, as they leave their West Virginia home
to forge a new life on the Kansas frontier. Will is saddened when
he has to leave his best friend, Skeeter, and his dog, Crusher,
behind. The long journey by steamboat, train, and wagon is not an
easy one, but their struggles are only the beginning. While
besieged with natural disasters, family conflict, outlaws, and
death, the Curtis family also becomes involved in a deadly
vendetta.
This coming-of-age Western demonstrates Will's determination
and dedication to his family as he matures on the hardscrabble
Kansas homestead. In his five-year journey, Will reaps the rewards
of hard work, faces his foes, and discovers the wonder of love in
Into the Heartland.
