A promise carries Emeline across the frontier

Thirteen-year-old Emeline is an orphan in Missouri when her dying father’s request sends her toward Boston to find her grandfather. The journey across frontier America gives the novel its structure: she travels alone, facing dangers and practical challenges while trying to hold on to her faith. Family, resilience, and resourcefulness are woven into this coming-of-age adventure, with the question of whether Emeline will find a home shaping the journey ahead. The book is presented as historical Christian fiction for young adults.
