Summary

When life has shown you death, can you bring yourself to love again?

Eli Todd is a tall, handsome captain of a wagon train bound for Oregon. Life has taught him if he allows people into his heart, he ends up losing them.

Amelia Cruthers is a pretty, young woman with a limp. She’s a hard worker who starts out the trip to Oregon with her parents, until they try to leave her behind. In shock, she watches them cross a river by ferry without her.

Thankfully, the kind, strong Eli Todd takes her with him. Admiring her spunk and work ethic, he gives her a job cooking for the crew. After a fall from his horse, Amelia tends him and he realizes she is sweetness on earth.

Her parents demand he marry Amelia, since she spent time alone with him, nursing him. Eli figures why not? He won’t be home most of the year anyway, and Amelia could have a safe place to live on his ranch. What could possibly go wrong?

Amelia never thought to be married. She’d been told her hip was too hideous for a man to look upon and that she couldn’t have children. Knowing that she could never be a real wife, the love she begins to feel for Eli frightens her.

The distance they try to place between them doesn’t work, leaving them both hurt with longings that could never be fulfilled. But there are secrets, and when they realize they’d been lied to, do they take the leap at a lifetime to share?

A very interesting and romantic story!

This is a really beautiful continuation of the first book in the series. In this story we learn that Mike's younger brother Eli is going to be the captain of the wagon train traveling to Oregon. Their youngest brother Jed will of course help along with their longtime friend Smitty. I was surprised at how young the boys were that led the train, Mike must have been in his early years while Eli was only 17 and Jed 14. I can hardly imagine that boys at those ages could lead people 2000 miles across the rough and treacherous terrain. It took lots of wisdom and patience to deal with a group of over 100people. This story lets us get to know Eli better and a disabled young lady, Amelia. Amelia has terrible things happen to her and we are in suspense for much of the book as to why she is in danger. I really enjoyed this book and the narrator does a wonderful job. I hope I can find some more books by this author. I received a free code from Audiobooks Unleashed to listen to this book on Audible. This review is my own honest opinion.
