Pearl: Prairie Roses Collection - Book 16
Man goes to mountaintops to pray. Woman, caring
for hearth and home, stays too busy to climb, so God comes to her.
Because Pearl has no acceptable marriage prospects she considers acceptable,
when her father decides to sell out and join her brothers in Oregon Territory,
she must go, too. Her discontent increases when, not far from South Pass, a
middle-aged widower and self-subscribed preacher with four children—whose wife
recently drowned during a river crossing--walks down from a nearby mountain and
informs Pearl that God decreed she is to marry him.
Pearl has no desire to marry the sanctimonious and overbearing widower. She
reads her Holy Bible. She prays. She diligently strives to honor her father and
bear her burdens with patience, but enough is enough. If God wants to tell
someone whom she should marry, He can tell her. She has no time to climb
mountains. Will God answer the prayers she offers as she performs the tasks of
everyday life?
Michael Stanwyck has no room in his life for marriage and family. After the
death of his father, Michael takes his portion of the inheritance and buys his
own dry goods—enough to fill three freight wagons he’ll accompany to the gold
fields of California. He comes across one brown-haired beauty more than once.
Although curious why she remains unmarried, it is none of his business. Then he
finds her alone on the trail several days past Fort Hall with her family wagon
and a lame ox. He learns her father recently died, and, because she refused to
marry in order for a man take charge of her and her wagon, for the peace and
security of the wagon train, she was ordered to leave.
Can Michael, in good conscience, continue on to California and leave Pearl to
return alone to Fort Hall, where only an uncertain future awaits?

Amity Grenville is set on reaching Oregon’s Sweet Home
Valley, where her aunt and uncle have a farm. They were part of the Great
Migration of 1843, and Amity saved every letter Aunt Beitris wrote, complete
with advice on the journey preparations. Amity is eager for a fresh start, in
the hopes that her husband, Garvey, will find a new vocation in farming and
leave behind his drinking and gambling ways.
Newly finished with his apprenticeship, blacksmith Shawe Creighton can ply his
trade just about anywhere so he agrees to throw in with his best friend’s
family on the trek to Oregon. With no family ties, he heads west, thinking
Oregon is as good as any place to establish a shop. Fun loving by nature, he’s
also looking forward to what the adventure will bring.
In St Joseph doing last-minute preparations for the journey, Amity receives the
bad news that Garvey was caught cheating and killed over a poker game. Now men
are seeking to claim the wagon and team as their recompense. She barely removes
her belongings in time but is faced with either marrying a stranger to comply
with the wagon train’s rules or remain behind. Taking pity on her plight, Shawe
offers marriage and is immediately faced with her two demands--no drinking or

boring. Will a decision made in haste bring disaster, or will the journey forge
