This was my first Francine Rivers book and I loved it. I'll be looking for more of her books. Sierra life starts to fall apart when her husband takes a new job with a computer company and moves the family away from their home and family without consulting Sierra first. Her mother sends her off with the journal of Mary Kathryn McMurry, a young pioneer on the Oregon Trail who like Sierra, is on a journey chosen by her husband without considering Mary Kathryn's wish to remain in her childhood home. Throughout the book the two womens lives parallel with trials and tribulations including a distrust of God for letting them get into the possition of dispair each is in. The story is full of humor and realistic life situations and written tastefully. It's like getting two stories in one book that meld together with the Scarlet Thread running through it.
