Where the Lost Wander
by: Amy Harmon
In this epic and haunting love story set on the Oregon Trail, a family and their unlikely protector find their way through peril, uncertainty, and loss.
The Overland Trail, 1853: Naomi May never expected to be widowed at twenty. Eager to leave her grief behind, she sets off with her family for a life out West. On the trail, she forms an instant connection with John Lowry, a half-Pawnee man straddling two worlds and a stranger in both.
But life in a wagon train is fraught with hardship, fear, and death. Even as John and Naomi are drawn to each other, the trials of the journey and their disparate pasts work to keep them apart. John’s heritage gains them safe passage through hostile territory only to come between them as they seek to build a life together.
When a horrific tragedy strikes, decimating Naomi’s family and separating her from John, the promises they made are all they have left. Ripped apart, they can’t turn back, they can’t go on, and they can’t let go. Both will have to make terrible sacrifices to find each other, save each other, and eventually…make peace with who they are.
Review:
What a beautiful, heartbreaking, honest, amazing, heartfelt, action packed adventure. Amy Harmon does such an amazing job of creating these fantastic characters that by the end you truly care for them and their heartbreaks are yours. She also does a wonderful job of painting the image of what life was really like in 1853. I loved Naomi and John’s story! I felt like by the end of the book, I had been through this crazy journey with them. I didn’t want it to end. I highly recommend!
