About this listen
In this epic and haunting love story set on the Oregon Trail, a family and their unlikely protector find their way through peril, uncertainty, and loss.
The Overland Trail, 1853: Naomi May never expected to be widowed at 20. Eager to leave her grief behind, she sets off with her family for a life out West. On the trail, she forms an instant connection with John Lowry, a half-Pawnee man straddling two worlds and a stranger in both.
But life in a wagon train is fraught with hardship, fear, and death. Even as John and Naomi are drawn to each other, the trials of the journey and their disparate pasts work to keep them apart. John’s heritage gains them safe passage through hostile territory only to come between them as they seek to build a life together.
When a horrific tragedy strikes, decimating Naomi’s family and separating her from John, the promises they made are all they have left. Ripped apart, they can’t turn back, they can’t go on, and they can’t let go. Both will have to make terrible sacrifices to find each other, save each other, and eventually...make peace with who they are.

Such a mixture of joy and grief, a simply wonderful story!
I love this book. Amy Harmon paints such a vivid image of what life was like back in 1850’s American as a pioneer heading west. This wonderful book is such a beautiful mix of love and joy, hope and despair, and above all, the search for transcendence. Thank you Amy!

A beautiful heartwarming story.
A beautiful heartwarming story, full of love, laughter, sorrow and grief. A powerful story depicting the exploration of the pioneers, the challenges and the hardships they faced. As well as giving an insightful look into the way of life of the Native peoples, the adversities they encountered during the period of White settlement and immigration across the Plains, the changes they anticipated that would forever change their world and way of life. It also recounted the story of a man born of both cultures, the struggles he faced navigating between trying to find his feet, acceptance. The main characters are portrayed through dual point of view, their strength, bravery and love are brought to life by the superb performance of the narrators.

A beautiful journey..
This is hands down my favorite book of the year. I’ve enjoyed Amy Harmon’s novels before but this is a standout! Absolutely loved the characters, the landscape and the epic journey undertaken across America. So much respect for the men and women who risked everything to make a new life for themselves and suffered such hardship and tragedy along the way. The male narrator for John was perfect, the female who voiced Naomi was great but her attempt at voicing the men sounded a little strained, however that’s my only criticism. Adored every minute of this story, including the authors note at the end.
Do yourself a favor and READ THIS BOOK!
