Description

Among the situations that produced a deep impact upon the minds of all: the assembly of eleven wagons returning and not really a person left in the whole practice; all had died, and been buried on the road, and the ladies returning alone.                                                        --in the publications of Ezra Meeker, 1852THEIR LIFESTYLES COULD BE TEMPERED BY DIFFICULTY, BROADENED BY RELIGION, REFINED BY Determination--For Madison "Mazy" Bacon, a spouse residing in southern Wisconsin, the near future seems just as promising because it is reassuringly expected. A loving relationship, a well-prepared house, the enjoyment of growing an earlier spring backyard--these are the carefully-maintained desires that maintain her center and nurture her soul.But when her partner of 2 yrs offers the homestead and shows her that they're proceeding northwest, Mazy's life is cut down the center such as for instance a badly mended linen overlooked in a midwestern surprise. Her love is attempted, her limitations extended, and the material of her faith tested. At the same time frame, she and eleven remarkable ladies are drawn toward an uncertain future--one which binds them together through unwillingness and yearning and into approval and restoration.
