It's summer 1849 and when thirty-year old widow Colette Weylyn decides to leave the heartbreak of her old life behind in Philadelphia and head west to Oregon as a mail order bride, she encourages her twenty-five year old sister-in-law Sera to join her as her companion. But that means these two women who have spent their whole lives in Philadelphia, one of the busiest cities on the east coast, must travel to Independence Missouri then overland by wagon train to Astoria Oregon.

This book is a heartwarming story about two young women starting a whole new life far from home. Colette never expected to find love again, not after years of being happily married to Elliot, but Quentin has also known heartbreak and together they slowly rebuild their lives.

Sera never believed in romance, nor finding the love of her life, but those months on the trail changed everything when she met a scout from another wagon train. Individual destinies collide on this journey to Oregon, with unexpected events along the way changing lives forever.

You get two wagon train stories in this book and two love stories. Meet Wyatt, Quentin and baby Charlie.

Meet Buck, Ansel and Burley, all tough men used to a hard life on the frontier. Meet Abe, Charity and Pike, a family heading to the gold fields of California who help two city girls cope with their new life as they travel across country in a wagon train.
