Setting off on the Oregon Trail with a cold fish of a new husband seemed like the least of her worries but as the gruelling journey begins Corinne realises just what she’s taken on. She quickly immerses herself in her new role without support or love from her uncaring husband and she soon realises that her skills as a healer are in need but will the man who made it possible for her to travel block her from helping her friends and neighbours?
Corinne is a strong protagonist with a kind heart and the reader quickly learns to love her but her husband is another matter. Her friendships suffer while he seeks to crush her spirit but Corinne is made of stronger stuff and her caravan of travellers see that.
Banicki has researched the trail well and the sub-stories that happen along the journey are authentic to the historic setting and deeply emotive. I had to read quickly because I was desperate to know what would happen next. The book was thought-provoking.
