These Wild Dreams of Ours

An unconventional young woman, a disenchanted scout, and a journey more difficult than anyone could imagine.

Kate McGrath and her family join a wagon train heading to the open spaces and promises of the American West. She is eager for a life of adventure free from society’s suffocating conventions, but those expectations follow her out into the wilderness. Kate faces storms, stampedes, and swollen rivers with courage and steadfast faith, but is set adrift when her daydreaming heart is captivated by a handsome scout.

Jacob Munroe is scouting for a wagon train yet again, but his wandering ways have lost their appeal. When he meets the McGrath family, Jacob is drawn to the peace they possess despite their hardships. Especially Kate. She is full of intriguing contradictions: wild and strong, yet kind and gentle. She is a balm to his angry heart and restless soul, but brings with her a faith in a God whom Jacob is convinced doesn’t care.

Then tragedy strikes. Kate’s faith is tested and Jacob’s world is shattered, and they both face impossible choices.

Will their journey across the wilderness bring them peace or tear their worlds apart?
