Description: In the summer of 1846 Rebecca Springer and her family join the Oregon wagon train in search of land thousands of miles away. It's a hard and dangerousjourney through blizzards and searing heat, over prairies, desert plains and mountains and, at times, it seems as if it will never end. But an unbreakable bond develops amongst the travelling women as they are tested, physically and emotionally, and their shared experiences of new life and tragic death will bring them closer than blood ever could.
