The Promised Land

Destiny's Dreamers #2

by Kathleen Karr

Now in the last miles on the Oregon Trail, will Johnny and Maggie Stuart be robbed of their cherished dream?

For Johnny and Maggie and their young family, the long journey West has been fraught with danger. They have been beset by hunger, blistering heat, and bone-rattling chill. They have helped bring life into the world and have ushered it out. Even attacks by wild animals and hostile Indians have been weathered, and they have survived.

Nothing, however, has prepared them for the cruelest cut of all: treachery from within their own ranks that will put their lives at risk and will create a growing rift between them. Will Johnny and Maggie's strong and shining faith endure this latest test? Will Johnny succumb to temptation more deadly than a well aimed arrow?
