Finding Home

Recently widowed, Hallie Wells is facing hard times. The sudden demise of her husband after selling their farm and just about everything they owned to travel west on the Oregon Trail, has left her stranded. Dare she ask Cooper Jerome, recently returned from the War of the States, if he would put his life on hold for, say, five months to drive her wagon, and that doesn't include his return trip.

Rush Garrett has been hired by friends Hallie and Cooper Jerome to find Lilah Parker and persuade her to return to Oregon with him. She parted ways with her sister Hallie twenty years earlier. Lilah yearns for her family, but in her infrequent letters to Hallie, she has lied about her occupation. Her sister believes her to be a seamstress. She is actually a fallen woman.

Daisy Smithson and Tim Wells are reunited after seventeen years. They first met in Missouri at the age of eight and became friends. However, the night before Tim departed for Oregon, young Daisy dreamed they would one day marry. He couldn't get away fast enough. Sins from Trent Garrett's past still haunt him. Although attracted to Arizona Cayson, he makes no effort to deepen their relationship.
