Where the Trail Ends by Melanie Dobson
{MORE ABOUT WHERE THE TRAIL ENDS}
A young woman travelingthe Oregon Trail in 1842 must rely on a stranger to bring her to safety. But whom can she trust with her heart?
For two thousand miles along the trail to Oregon Country, Samantha Waldron and her family must overcome tremendous challenges to reach the Willamette Valley before winter. Together they weather autumn storms, hunger and thirst, and the dangers of a wild and unfamiliar country. But when their canoe capsizes on the Columbia River, they must rely on handsome British exporter Alexander Clarke to rescue them from the icy water.
Alex escorts Samantha and her young brother, Micah, to Fort Vancouver. There Samantha is overwhelmed with men vying for her affections, but the only one who intrigues her-Alex-is the one she cannot have. When his betrothed arrives unexpectedly from England to escort him home, Samantha becomes determined to create a home for herself and Micah in the fertile valley far away from the fort. But how will an unmarried woman support herself and her brother in the wilderness alone? Then Micah disappears into the wilderness one rainy night, and Samantha must rely on the man she loves-the man she’s trying desperately to forget-to rescue her brother before it’s too late.

My Take: American Tapestries is a new series of books that brings you a love story set during a major time or event in American History. This one is set during the Oregon Trail time. I have always admired the strength and fortitude that the people who journeyed along the Oregon Trail had and have often wondered if I would lave had the same drive that they exhibited. This story just sweeps you up into the story from the first page until the very last page. You are there with Samantha and her brother Micah through all the trials and tribulations that comes upon them. You are routing for them to succeed and for Samantha to find the man that is right for her. This book gives you a love story that is both believable and emotional. You will have an investment into these characters when you are done. Loved the story. Recommend it if you like this time period, like love stories or just like a good story.
I received a review copy from Litfuse in return for my honest opinion.
