This story spans 1862 and 1863 and takes you from New York to Omaha as three young people search for their place during this time of history. Brenton Baldwin is in charge of taking care of his fiesty younger sister, Jordana, while his parents are abroad. Then they are joined by Caitlan O'Connor, who is newly arrived from Ireland and searching for her brother who is in California. Together these three will leave the civilized world, and travel west. They will encounter adventure and danger as they seek to figure out what to do each step of the way. Three very different people, but united together to reach their destination.

A time in history when the Civil War has begun and the transcontinental railroad was beginning. An interesting look at both. (

Book description

Furthering the legacy of Carolina and James Baldwin begun in the RIBBONS OF STEEL series, Brenton and Jordana Baldwin make a trip across the continent to California, leaving a home ravaged by the Civil War. Planning to visit the gold fields and photograph the wilds of western America, the travelers become tied to the establishment of the Union Pacific Railroad. Romance blossoms along the way, but dangers threaten to turn the dream into a tragedy.
