About this listen

In this epic and haunting love story set on the Oregon Trail, a family and their unlikely protector find their way through peril, uncertainty, and loss.

The Overland Trail, 1853: Naomi May never expected to be widowed at 20. Eager to leave her grief behind, she sets off with her family for a life out West. On the trail, she forms an instant connection with John Lowry, a half-Pawnee man straddling two worlds and a stranger in both.

But life in a wagon train is fraught with hardship, fear, and death. Even as John and Naomi are drawn to each other, the trials of the journey and their disparate pasts work to keep them apart. John’s heritage gains them safe passage through hostile territory only to come between them as they seek to build a life together.

When a horrific tragedy strikes, decimating Naomi’s family and separating her from John, the promises they made are all they have left. Ripped apart, they can’t turn back, they can’t go on, and they can’t let go. Both will have to make terrible sacrifices to find each other, save each other, and eventually...make peace with who they are.

Amazing book and great narration

Loved the story! Exactly what I was looking for (romance on the western trail) but with a depth that makes it stand out from other similar books. I loved the female character & her relationship with her mom and her family. The backstory of the male character was very well woven. It was also a very good audiobook with great narrators.

Where the Lost Wander

Another brilliant novel from Amy Harmon! I found it hard to put down, it was so gripping. The only negative for me was Lauren Ezzo's attempt at a male voice. Shaun's narration was perfect for the part.

Finishing this story is like a bereavement

I was hooked from start to finish. Strong lead characters with such great descriptions of the plains I felt I was on the journey with them! What’s more a love story too. Does literature get better than this!

Beautifully written character driven historical fiction

4.25⭐️

I do enjoy this author with her beautifully written historical fiction, this one a love story set on the Oregon trail 1853. This is unintentionally my 3rd book about waggon trains recently.

The story is inspired by real people who are discussed by the author in her notes.

Naomi finds herself widowed at 20, she forms an instant connection with John Lowry junior. He is dual heritage so struggles to fit in with either community, but at the same time can communicate with both sides as a peace keeper.


It gives a realistic look at both the harshness of life of the waggon trail and the simple but harsh life of the native Americans with the inter tribal battles as well as those against the encroaching people and the Army. It doesn’t pick sides, which I liked, showing there was much wrong doing by various parties. The Mormons get a brief mention in this book, this aspect is covered in much further depth by Noelle W Ihli in Non Left to Tell. The Other book is One For The Blackbird one For The Crow Oliver Hawker.

I really enjoyed this character driven story.
