Hattie Lark has never known an easy path. Shaped by hardship and loss in her youth, she yearns for more than just survival-she longs for a chance at a new beginning. When she joins a wagon train heading west toward the uncharted wilderness that will one day become Montana, she steps into a journey that will test her spirit as much as her strength.
Life on the trail is brutal. Supplies run thin, storms sweep across the plains, and danger waits in every mile traveled. Among the company of strangers, Hattie learns to endure not only the relentless challenges of the frontier but also the weight of her past, which threatens to follow her no matter how far she goes.
As miles stretch into months, Hattie begins to discover a resilience she never knew she had. Each hardship faced, each small triumph won, forges her into something stronger. And by the time the wagon train reaches its destination, Hattie realizes that building a new life is not only about the land she claims-but about the woman she has become.
