Twelve women leave from Chastity, Missouri (2 pts) for the Oregon Trail in the 1850's.
Each is either a widow or a spinster and are to marry a man in Oregon who is paying for them to come. This was an extremely arduous journey and not all the women will make it all the way. The main character is Perrin, a widow with a past. She also has an enemy on the wagon train, the daughter of the man with whom she had an affair. Wow, Augusta is quite an over-the-top villain. She is haughty, prejudiced, hateful, vindictive, and anything else that is a descriptor for mean. This makes for an interesting story. Then, there are trail romances that develop. This book is quite tame in that it has virtually no steamy descriptions of any kind. It is also apparent that this author did research wagon train experiences. Pretty good.
