The Road We Traveled by Jane Kirkpatrick Book Review

This Road We Traveled

by Jane Kirkpatrick

Tabitha Brown refuses to be left behind in Missouri when her son makes the decision to strike out for Oregon--even if she has to hire her own wagon to join the party. After all, family ties are stronger than fear.

Along with her reluctant daughter and her ever-hopeful granddaughter, the intrepid Tabitha has her misgivings. The trials they face along the way will severely test her faith, courage, and ability to hope. With her family's survival on the line, she must make the ultimate sacrifice, plunging deeper into the wilderness to seek aid. What she couldn't know was how this frightening journey would impact how she understood her own life--and the greater part she had to play in history.

With her signature attention to detail and epic style, New York Times bestselling author Jane Kirkpatrick invites you to travel the deadly and enticing Oregon Trail. Based on actual events, This Road We Traveled inspires the pioneer in all of us.


My review;
Even though Tabitha Brown is an older woman she wants to be with her children and grandchildren. Her son and daughter, as well as her granddaughter are going to Oregon. She has decided that she is not going to stay in Missouri by herself. This is the story of their journey across many obstacles. They have love , faith and they are trying to make sure that it will be enough to keep them safe. The Oregon Trail was unimaginable to the people who wanted a new life at any cost. What will she be able to do if they really find themselves in trouble? Will she make it? Will the ones she loves live? I give this book a 4/5. I was given this book by Revell Publishing Company and all opinions are my.
