Publisher's summary

When a disastrous decision by the trainmaster forces Jesselynn Highwood and her companions to separate from the wagon train, she races back to Fort Laramie to find a guide to take them to Oregon. But the guide has a far different plan, and following her heart, Jesselynn agrees to join him, her ragtag band in tow.

Back east, Louisa Highwood and her brother, Zachary, are captured by Union soldiers for smuggling medical supplies into Richmond. Can Louisa find a way to obtain her brother's freedom before it's too late? The future of the Highwood family - and that of their beloved Twin Oaks - hangs in the balance. Will the war's end bring them together again?

Such a great book.

I love the series! I wish there was more! So much misery through the civil war but seeing the strengths of these women was enlightening.

Enjoyed all the books in this series!

I enjoyed the story , just always hard to realize how difficult life was in the 1800. This book helps me see how good God is to us and how much we should appreciate all the blessings we enjoy today!

great review

I really enjoyed all 3 audio books in this series. By the end of the 3rd one, I can't help but hope Zachary will get his story as well.

The Long Way Home

I did enjoy this third book of the series the most. Getting use to the Narration and especially liked when the children would speak. So glad I did finish all three although it was not the best of Lauraine Snellings series. A tough ending to a war story results.

Great

Great series. Left me wondering what happens to Zachary. The civil war was so horrible to the deaths of so many and we get a glimpse in this story. It also shows redemption and how God is always there. Great narration

Faith and Grace

i wish their ,was a 4th book ,that her brother Zachary
would come around !That youngest sister would mature!
along with her husband .and bringing up their family
Like that ,,Meshach ,he wishes to retain Highwood name.
Because sisters , father was more a father than his own.
Where other master were cruel ,that is why they rejected their slave name !
Lastly Jessie Lynn ,said they were all eaguak ,color and class
did not matter !
I think the last book was the best .
Especially, wentb AAuntc Agatha came around to the same thinking as Jessilyn .,despite how she had been brought up!
Thaddeus realizr d staying with His uncle was not safe .
