A young mother, abandoned and unexpectedly divorced, joins a wagon train heading to Montana to start a new life. Once I started reading the book, I wanted to get it finished. The visual descriptions of traveling by wagon train put me right there in my imagination. The story revolves around five main characters: Clarissa, her daughter, Sophia, Clarissa's friends and traveling companions, Carolyn and Michael, and her unexpected love interest, Dawson Clements. The careers and experiences of Michael, a preacher hoping to start a new church in Montana because Clarissa was ostracized by his congregation after her divorce; Clarissa, a nurse who lost her job because of her divorce, and Dawson, a former soldier and now a trail boss, set the themes for the story: forgiveness, empathy, and respect. I would consider reading other books by this author.
