When her son decides to leave Missouri for Oregon, sixty-six-year-old Tabitha Brown refuses to remain behind and hires her own wagon. Travelling with a reluctant daughter and hopeful granddaughter, she meets snow, separation and hunger that test whether three generations can continue as one family.
Based on the life of the woman later remembered as the Mother of Oregon, the novel shows courage developing through age, faith and practical action. Tabitha’s search for aid becomes part of a wider vocation, suggesting that the purpose of survival may only become visible after the trail has taken nearly everything familiar away.
