Synopsis

Where do you go when home is no longer an option? The guns of the Civil War have ceased firing, and the shots are but an echo... yet the war rages on deep inside Will Crump’s soul. His soldier’s heart is searching for peace, and in that quest Will joins the westward movement, setting his path on a collision course with adventure, loss and love.  The Westward Expansion floods the sacred, untouched lands with immigrants bringing conflict to the Shoshone, Sioux, Cheyenne, and Arapaho. Amidst the chaos Will finds safety in the shadow of the US Army, but the army brings battle-hardened troops into Red Cloud’s War, pulling Will into a tornado of conflict. Broken treaties and promises, leave both sides searching for answers. Will’s search leads him to a battle for survival, and there he finds a love that could change him forever.   Dove, a young Shoshone woman, is a survivor of the Bear Creek Massacre. After being kidnapped and escaping from the Cheyenne, she joins Will’s search, seeking where she belongs. Dove longs for more than the restricted role placed on women in her tribe. If she can learn to trust a white man, he just might help her find home... and hope.  Together, Will and Dove must search for understanding and reach Across the Great Divide.

We are always looking for the best, fastest route between home and some destination whether it be known or unknown. It is the unknown places that explorers look for since people left eastern Africa after becoming human. They spread across the world for riches, fame, adventure. Most of these explorer......more

Goodreads review by Anne on February 18, 2022

Robert Stuart discovered a trail wide enough for wagon passage over the Rockies. Their trail also traversed the famous Independence Rock. The journey from west to east took 10 months and was fraught with many hardships. The book is confusing at times, going back and forth from one exploring group to......more
