On the trail to Oregon, she'll find her true path-and her heart.
1850, Independence, Missouri: Olivia Greenwood has always yearned for more than the life of an overlooked orphan in Virginia. Raised by distant relatives, she craves independence and purpose. When she meets Luke Montgomery, a spirited traveling preacher with dreams of building a new life in Oregon, Olivia is swept into the promise of adventure-and hope for a fresh start.
In a moment of impulsive faith, Olivia agrees to a marriage of convenience, believing that life as a pastor's wife will offer her a meaningful future. But as the newlyweds embark on the perilous Oregon Trail, Olivia quickly realizes that frontier life and her new role are far from what she imagined. Each grueling mile brings new challenges-harsh weather, scarce resources, and the weight of her uncertain marriage.
As Olivia wrestles with the expectations placed on her as a wife and partner, she begins to question who she truly is and what she wants from her life. Amid the trials of the journey, Olivia must find her own inner strength and discover whether love, faith, and courage can light the way to the future she longs for.
Will the rugged wilderness forge her into the woman she's meant to be, or will the journey strip away the very dreams that brought her west?
Faithful Trail is a heartwarming, sweeping saga of one woman's path to self-discovery and the unexpected love she finds along the way.
