In the year 1846, sixteen-year-old Martha Burt and her family leave
their homestead in Illinois and travel westward on the trail mapped
out by Lewis and Clark on their return from the Oregon Territory to
Missouri. The men in the wagon train were energized by dreams of
free land and a better life for all, dreams sometimes
incomprehensible to their womenfolk, who endured incredible
hardships on the journey. The wagon train arrives in the Oregon
Territory six months later, having survived sandstorms, Indian
attacks, prairie fires, buffalo stampedes, and the death of many
fellow travelers. Martha grows from a sheltered young girl into a
competent woman. The pioneers are deeply saddened by the loss of so
many loved ones, yet are filled with hope by the possibilities the
future holds.
Tom Brannon overhears comments he is warned to ignore. Bringing his
own possible involvement to the police attention eventually. Dan
Prescott finds himself involved in his cousin Samantha ex-husband's
criminal affairs. Brought in to help look after Harry Tambling's
problems by Terry Tambling. Finding out that another has gone
against advice not too involved himself. Family involvement and
Harry Tambling's possible criminal activity brings Dan and Tom
together. The police reluctantly conjoin with Dan's help in
terminating Harry's and his criminal activist's crimes as they
unfold. Dan's involvement brings family and police to unite in a
joint venture to thwart Harry's past to change, with his
commitments coming to the fore, north and south of London.

Joella Simpson, a spirited housewife and mother of four in
additions to two foster sons is called to serve as a King County
juror in Seattle Washington. During the jury interrogation she is
questioned if in any way she is not qualified to serve as a juror
on the criminal trial questioning the sanity of the accused woman.
Joella refrains from admitting her brother- in-law, Mark Markham a
returned US Marine struggles with medical and mental issues brought
about by his exposure to Agent Orange during his Vietnam tour of
duty. Joella questions the jury system legality and becomes
disillusioned concerning the responsibilities demanded of jurors,
who have neither the experience nor education to judge the merits
of criminals. Joella becomes frustrated with the injustice of the
courts interpretation of "peers." and with her efforts to call
attention to the disabled veterans returning home medical issues
the officials representing the United States chose to ignore.
Joella finds herself questioning her principles, in her concern
over moral issues. She, as a juror, disrupts the case rather than
accept ground rules.
