Book Description
The Civil War has been over for two years. As ever, yet another wagon train in Independence, Missouri is heading out to California with hopes of finding a better life - but this group of travelers is different. Made up of widows and their children, all this wagon train has for help is an old Christian wagon master with a drinking problem and his two old, grizzled freighters. As they face the perils of the Oregon trail - Indian territory, loners, and roughnecks - the greatest danger may come from others who see an opportunity to make a lot of money from a defenseless wagon train. They already made it this far, but now they realize that out there, it's every man for himself. Unless you don't have any.

Abigail Baldwyn might not be a widow after all....
