About this listen

Three generations of the Brown women travel west together on the Oregon Trail, but each seeks something different. When the trail divides, a decision must be made that could bring survival or tragedy. The challenges faced will form the character of one woman - and impact the future for many more.

Drama, adventure, and family struggles abound as three generations head west on the Oregon Trail.

When Tabitha Brown's son makes the fateful decision to leave Missouri and strike out for Oregon, she refuses to be left behind. Despite her son's concerns, Tabitha hires her own wagon to join the party. Along with her reluctant daughter and her ever-hopeful granddaughter, the intrepid Tabitha has her misgivings. But family ties are stronger than fear.

The trials they face along the way will severely test Tabitha's faith, courage, and ability to hope. With her family's survival on the line, she must make the ultimate sacrifice, plunging deeper into the wilderness to seek aid. What she couldn't know was how this frightening journey would impact how she understood her own life - and the greater part she has to play in history.

With her signature attention to detail and epic style, New York Times best-selling author Jane Kirkpatrick invites listeners to travel the deadly and enticing Oregon Trail. Based on actual events, This Road We Traveled will inspire the pioneer in all of us.

Historically Accurate

I love a good story wrapped in history. This book puts flesh and bones on historical facts that bring the listener into the adventures of everyday life in another time and place. The narrator did a wonderful job with all characters. If you like intergenerational adventure, faith, and clean romance, this book checks all the boxes

Wonderful, sweet story.

I loved listening to this sweet story about a woman and her family's story about her journey across the country. it was about so much more than the physical journey. It was just as much about her spiritual journey of love and learning about herself as it was a physical one. I would definitely recommend this book.

Great story

I loved the story line and references to scripture however it should be noted in the description or in the classification.

Brillant Book!

I live in Brownsville and work in Salem Oregon... love every one of her books but this one especially stood out to me. Gave me a new appreciation for our pioneers.
