This Road We Traveled

By: Jane Kirkpatrick

Narrated by: Donna Postel

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.

I loved the Christian perspective

This was a very exciting story, and I didn’t even realize it until I finished, that it was based on a real person-Tabatha Moffet Brown! It turns out they got the facts very accurate and made it an exciting story at the same time!

A road less traveled

Wasn’t one of Kirkpatricks best, I’m a big fan of Jane Kirkpatrick’s books. I’ve read all of them some of them more than once.

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 historical fiction

enjoyable story of a family making it's way to Oregon. well written characters and a great story.

Great story

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