Beth has rescued her mother, Ginny, from an insane asylum and they are headed west by wagon train to escape from her fathers wrath. This was a time in history when a husband had full control over his wife and could commit her to an asylum without any proof of insanity. Beth's father wanted Ginny's money that was tied up in a trust. He figured he could get his hands on it with her being insane. Beth and Ginny head west. The scout thinks Beth and her party are hiding secrets. But a lot of people heading west are. Jack takes extra care to insure they are ok along the way. Of course Beth's father catches up with them. You'll have to read the story to find out what happens.
This story doesn't have the usual humor thrown in that I have come to expect from Ms. Connealy. But it is still a good book. It shows the hardships that the pioneers had to face while traveling west. I look forward to reading the next story in this series.
I was given this book by Bethany House Publishing via Net/Galley in exchange for an honest review. I was not compensated in any way.
