This series should be read in order. This story was an emotional roller-coaster ride to the very end. The characters were so well drawn that the reader feels part of the background.

Abigail Trent, along with her older sister and younger brother, travel with their widowed father to the Oregon Territory. They are leaving Tennessee because of Mr. Trent's grief over his wife's death; he wants to start over again. Although Abigail is the younger daughter, she keeps the family together because the older daughter is flighty and self-absorbed.

The leader of the wagon train is a half-breed Cheyenne Zeke. He is an incredibly strong character, as is Abbie. There is a significant difference in their ages, which put me off at first. However, with all that Abbie had to endure, she earned the right to be considered a woman.

This is a very powerful story that kept me turning pages late into the night. I can hardly wait to continue the story with Book 2.
