The Overland Trail

She is called America, named for the young country whose manifest destiny is greatness. When she begins her journey west in 1846, taking the Overland Trail, America expects hardship and deprivation. But she's not prepared to lose her husband and all her earthly goods during a storm early in her journey. Pregnant and alone, America is taken in by another family in the wagon train. But when she gives birth, they leave her for dead at the side of the trail and take her newborn daughter for their own. America is saved by a young Paiute woman named Dancing Feather. When America recovers she has only one thought: to find her stolen child. Aided by Dancing Feather and Dancing Feather's friend, Black Wolf, America sets out to recover her daughter - and to forge a bridge between two worlds.
