The decision to go is not an easy one, and Stephen carefully weighs the risks before undertaking what he knows will be a dangerous journey. His courage is undaunted, her passion is deep, but the wilderness is full of terror. Two lives, one great love, torn apart by a frightening wilderness that challenges everything Stephen and Jane Wyllie care about. When the harsh demands of the frontier nearly tear apart their great love, Stephen and Jane must find a path through more than the wilderness.
