GoodReads Synopsis:
Upon uncovering her tyrannical
father's plot to commit her to an asylum, Beth Rutledge fabricates a plan of
her own--she will rescue her mother, who had already been sent to the asylum by
her father, and escape together on a wagon train heading west. Posing as
sisters, Beth and her mother join forces with other travelers and hope they can
make it to Idaho before the others start asking too many questions.
Wagon train scout Jake Holt senses that the mysterious women
in his caravan are running from something. When rumors begin to spread of
Pinkerton agents searching relentlessly for wanted criminals who match the
description of those on his wagon train, including Beth, she begins to open up
to him and he learns something much more sinister is at hand. Can they risk
trusting each other with their lives--and their hearts--with danger threatening
their every step?
From bestselling author Mary Connealy comes a gripping
and adventurous historical novel of survival, sacrifice, and romance on the
Oregon Trail.
