In 1844 Quincy, Illinois, banker's daughter Nell Baker defies her family to marry Tom Mortenson, a Mormon farmer—though she never truly believes his faith. When Tom leaves to help settle the Salt Lake Valley, Nell waits three long years before setting out alone with her toddler across the perilous plains. Facing treacherous guides, buffalo, wolves, Indians, childbirth, and her own hidden guilt, she is transformed by the journey. A sweeping frontier romance about faith, courage, and finding home.

Perfect for an adult reader who enjoys strong-heroine pioneer sagas and pioneer historical fiction with a clean but frank romantic thread.
