Abigail Morgan is confused when she finds herself travelling in a wagon company on the Oregon Trail with her father shortly after her mother passed away. She is even more confused by it because her father is acting strangely and they had to change their identities; no one could know her real name is Abigail Bliss. When she finds herself attracted to Tanner McKnight, who is nothing more than a hired gunman, she finds everything in her world changing. Tanner, who was hired by Abby’s grandfather to bring her to Chicago, kidnaps Abby and they begin the long and dangerous journey to Chicago. Who is this mysterious grandfather Abby never knew about? Will Abby and Tanner make it safely to Chicago? What will happen once they get there?
Abby is a strong willed woman, who wants what she wants and isn’t afraid to go for it, which I found to be a very endearing quality for this time period. This novel also has a story within a story with Abby’s stories about two mice, Tillie and Snitch, which parallel her and Tanner. Even if you do not like historical westerns, I recommend trying out this well written novel of survival and romance. ( )
