17 Year-old Martha Patterson is no lady Tall, strong, and more at home with horses than society, she dreams of a life on her families horse farm, but dreams shatter when the civil war their door step. Confederate soldiers storm their land, confiscating everything - even brutally killing her beloved foal. With their home threatened by impending battle and their livelihood destroyed, Martha, her parents, and the few remaining horses are forced to flee to the west, leaving everything they have ever known. Now, armed with a pistol and a fierce will to survive, Martha faces a treacherous journey on the 'Oregon Trail.' Every mile brings new perils; unforgiving wilderness, desperate strangers, blood thirst savages, and the lingering shadows of a nation at war. Can a spirited farm girl forge a new destiny amidst the dangers of the frontier and will love find a way to bloom in the heart of a woman hardened by loss? "Love and Danger on the Oregon Trail" is a gripping tale of resilience, survival, and the enduring power of 'Hope' in the face of unimaginable hardship.
