Dreamer of DestinyThis is almost two books in one.  It starts out being about a young woman who is betrothed to a man she despises.  Then a fascinating account of her family's journal west on a wagon train.  It details the hardships of the journey, and also the often times lack of consideration for women in the 1800s.  But Christina at only 17 when the story begins, develops into a remarkable woman.Don't expect a fast paced story.  The heroine doesn't meet the hero until chapter 46.  Then the story morphs into a love story about a white woman and an Indian. But the time is taken to develop the characters and allows the reader to connect with them.  The characters are complex, with good and evil on both sides.  There are definitely a few surprises.
