About the Book
In 1844, two years before the Donner Party, the Stevens-Murphy company left Missouri to be the first wagons into California through the Sierra Nevada Mountains. Mostly Irish Catholics, the party sought religious freedom and education in the mission-dominated land and enjoyed a safe journey--until October, when a heavy snowstorm forced difficult decisions. The first of many for young Mary Sullivan, newlywed Sarah Montgomery, the widow Ellen Murphy, and her pregnant sister-in-law Maolisa.
When the party separates in three directions, each risks losing those they loved and faces the prospect of learning that adversity can destroy or redefine. Two women and four men go overland around Lake Tahoe, three men stay to guard the heaviest wagons--and the rest of the party, including eight women and seventeen children, huddle in a makeshift cabin at the headwaters of the Yuba River waiting for rescue . . . or their deaths.
Award-winning author Jane Kirkpatrick plunges you deep into a landscape of challenge where fear and courage go hand in hand for a story of friendship, family, and hope that will remind you of what truly matters in times of trial.

This way my friend Wesley Virgin's adventure begins in this shocking and controversial VIDEO.
ReplyDeleteWesley was in the army-and shortly after leaving-he discovered hidden, "mind control" secrets that the government and others used to get everything they want.
THESE are the same SECRETS many famous people (notably those who "became famous out of nothing") and the greatest business people used to become wealthy and famous.
You probably know how you only use 10% of your brain.
That's because most of your brainpower is UNCONSCIOUS.
Perhaps that conversation has even occurred INSIDE your very own mind... as it did in my good friend Wesley Virgin's mind about seven years back, while riding an unlicensed, garbage bucket of a car with a suspended driver's license and $3.20 on his debit card.
"I'm very frustrated with living paycheck to paycheck! When will I get my big break?"
You've taken part in those conversations, ain't it right?
Your own success story is waiting to happen. You just need to take a leap of faith in YOURSELF.
