In 1848, women can expect a few bumps along the Oregon Trail. Corinne Temple, age seventeen, has a few ridiculous challenges to face outside the river crossings, snakes, Indians, accidental gunshots and finding enough privacy to be clean along the grimy trail. When Corinne’s marriage of convenience gets less convenient she turns to some new friends in the wagon train who help her see the hope for the future. They teach her to take the time to dance and celebrate the small victories, to have faith and determination through the hardest things a person can face. Corinne’s journey takes her from the cobblestone streets of fashionable Boston to the rugged mountains of the west, across rivers and deserts, from sea to shining sea. A faithful heart gets this young woman through the hardest days on the trail, her skills and resolve show her and others how a woman can rise from circumstances and survive. Join her as she discovers her own strength and resilience in...Finding Her Way * * * * * Previously released as Seeing The Elephant, revised, rewritten and professionally edited.

Young Adults - When the main character becomes widowed there is a discussion about her being a virgin bride. But there is no sexual situations or talk of it in this book. There is a scene where a character has been accidentally shot in a hunting accident. There is a bullet removal scene. There is vivid description of several illnesses but not graphic in nature. There is a punishment scene where boys get whipped for falling asleep on the night watch, it is historically accurate to the punishment outlined in a wagon train rules contract that people followed in 1848.
marked the note as a spoiler
edited the spoiler-free note: There is no sex, or cussing. Mild medical description. Normal danger of wagon train travel, gunshots, sickness, injuries and even death. I wrote this book so I could share it with my own daughter. - Leah Banicki
