Bestselling author Melody Carlson begins an inspiring new series of adventure and romance on the Oregon Trail.

Kentucky, 1854—Elizabeth Martin has mourned her husband's death for three years, but now she feels ready to fulfill the dream they had shared—to take their two children west. The dream becomes reality when her middle-aged parents and bachelor brother surprise her with the news that they want to go as well.

After converting three of their best wagons to prairie schooners and thoroughly outfitting them, the little party travels from Kentucky to Kansas City, where they join a substantial wagon train. Elizabeth soon finds herself being drawn to the group's handsome guide, Eli Kincade.

The long journey and deepening relationships challenge the travelers to their core, and Eli's mysterious past leaves Elizabeth with more questions than answers. She knows there's no turning back, but she wonders, What have I gotten myself into?

About This Series: The Homeward on the Oregon Trail series brings to life the challenges a young widow faces as she journeys west, settles her family in the Pacific Northwest, and helps create a new community among strong-willed and diverse pioneers.

      Three years after the death of her husband, Elizabeth Martin decides to follow his dream of taking their two children out West with her parents and brother. In Kansas, they join a wagon train where Elizabeth meets Eli Kincade and romance ensues. VERDICT Carlson starts this new historical series with her signature emotionally intense storyline. Adult readers will find the writing and language somewhat didactic, but it may win her teen readers looking for a clean romance. Recommend it to readers who enjoy the stories of Lurlene McDaniel.
