Publisher's summary

Jillian Barker's father and brothers were harsh drunks, so when the older brother closest to her age decides to run away to the West, she talks him into taking her with him since he’s the most responsible brother. However, when they get to St. Louis he decides to stay there. The wagon master refuses to take an unmarried woman with him, and she doesn't want to remain with her brother who is working in a saloon. Her only option is to wed. The wagon master assures her he can find someone who will agree to an annulment in Oregon, but can she risk another man lording it over her?

Jillian

Jillian didn’t have a good role model at home for men Thinking
all men were like her father and brothers. Until she met Vance.
I enjoyed this narration and recommend this audible.

Just enough twists and turns

I love books by JCH, they are so realistic and could be based on true stories. I love how detailed she is to give you an idea of what it really was like back in the 1800s/early 1900s. While most all of her books have a happy ending, it’s. Or easily obtained. The characters go through their own trials and heartaches, making the story very plausible.

Christian Historical Romance

I absolutely loved how they turned to God so freely! Depending on Him for life's trials and concerns, makes like more meaningful too! Watching Jillian fight her feelings for her husband was so realistic! She had every reason to doubt and mistrust, but God has wonderful plans for His children!
I would have liked an epilogue that gave an update on her brother though!
The narration for the different characters was great! I especially loved the mountain lady that acted as the wagon train's doctor, and the preacher. Their voices were absolutely perfect!
I think this duo of author and narrator make a perfect combination too, and I hope to enjoy many more of their combined works in the future!!

A Long Journey

Interesting story, A Journey for Jillian. Jillian was being abused by her father and brothers. Ever since her mom died, it has gotten worse. When she discovers that her older brother is sneaking away to go West, she begs him to take her too. They leave in the night, but in St. Louis, her brother stays behind. When she gets to the wagon train, they will not let her in unless she is married. So she agreed to marry Vance in name only, until they reach Oregon. Their journey is long and hard and their love grows. Loved it!
I was given an audiobook copy of this book by the author for an honest review.
