Kentucky, 1854--Elizabeth Martin has
mourned her husband's death for three
years, but now she feels ready to
fulfill the dream they had shared--to
take their two children west. The dream
becomes reality when her middle-aged
parents and bachelor brother surprise
her with the news that they want to go
as well.
After converting three of their best
wagons to prairie schooners and
thoroughly outfitting them, the little
party travels from Kentucky to Kansas
City, where they join a substantial
wagon train. Elizabeth soon finds
herself being drawn to the group's
handsome guide, Eli Kincade.
The long journey and deepening
relationships challenge the travelers to
their core, and Eli's mysterious past
leaves Elizabeth with more questions
than answers. She knows there's no
turning back, but she wonders, What have
I gotten myself into?
