Beloved, bestselling author of Amish fiction, Wanda E. Brunstetter takes readers on a journey in 1850 along the California Trail.
Only the brave--or foolhardy--would attempt a cross-country journey late in the season. Three wagons meet up in Independence, Missouri, in April 1850, and their owners decide to keep forging ahead despite many setbacks and delays. December finds them in the Sierra Nevada Mountains when a sudden snowstorm traps them, obscuring the trail.
Cynthia Cooper is traveling with her mother and the man she has promised to marry. But as Christmas is upon them and they are hunkered down in a small cabin, she is forced to reevaluate her reasons for planning to marry fellow-traveler Walter Prentice. When a widowed father heading to a California ranch and a gold prospector both show an interest in Cynthia, she weighs her dreams for marriage alongside her responsibility to care for her mother. Can love win over her timid heart?
I really really enjoyed this book!
I was so excited to read another Wanda Brunstetter book. Than I realized it was different than her normal genre! I dunno why but that made it better for me! The story was great. Thought it did flip flop between perspectives randomly it mostly stayed with Cynthia but would go to some of the others in the wagon train at random times.
While somethings played out how I hoped I was thrown by one thing….like thrown as much as Cynthia was!
Although it ended I almost hope we can revisit everyone one day to see how they are all doing, but than when do I not wish that???
I kinda hope Wanda sprinkles a few more of this genre in between her Amish books cause I really enjoyed it!
