A Quaker woman dares the unknown to be a missionary in the western wilderness of the United States in 1837. Amanda Pearson left the disgrace of a broken engagement and heads for the work of a Quaker mission in the western wilds. The trip is fraught with danger, and Amanda is near death before reaching her destination. Among those she meets are an Indian woman who becomes her first convert and a half-Indian trapper who seems to be her biggest critic. But love follows her into the wilderness and will determine the course of her future. |
