Matilda Koontz cherishes her life as a wife and mother on a Missouri farm, but her hardworking husband wants to claim free farmland in the Pacific Northwest. When he suggests selling the farm to trek two thousand miles across the Oregon Trail, she balks. But in the spring of 1847, Matilda and Nicholas Koontz and their four young sons embark on the grueling journey westward. Fresh graves testify to the dangers of disease, accidents, starvation, and a multitude of hazards threatening her family and her beloved's dream. With new struggles at every turn, Matilda wonders how she can protect her sons on such a perilous journey. Will they reach the trail's end? Will the babe growing inside her womb survive? When tragedy strikes, the question changes: How can she possibly continue? This novel of a pioneer woman's journey is inspired by a true story.
