A THOUGHT-PROVOKING TALE OF SURVIVAL, MORAL RECKONING AND THE MAKING OF HOME IN A WILD LAND
THE YEAR IS 1837. When widow Louisa Evans, with no belongings or purpose, joins her sister and brother-in-law on a 700-mile arduous trek by wagon train from Pennsylvania, she hopes for a fresh start. Their destination is the Black Hawk Purchase-a wild, unsettled expanse along the Mississippi, soon to be called Iowa.
AND THE JOURNEY WEST IS ONLY THE BEGINNING ...
WHEN TRAGEDY STRIKES, Louisa and her brother-in-law, Isaac, must build a farm alone on virgin land-enduring backbreaking labor, shared grief, and impossible moral choices. Through her unflinching journal, Louisa records each trial in a voice both lyrical and candid-a widow's quiet passage from invisibility toward self-possession.
