To the Wild Horizon

By: Imogen Martin

Narrated by: Katie Beudert

Missouri, 1846: In the frontier town of Independence the sound of a gunshot shatters the night. As the pistol drops from her hand and clatters to the ground, Grace knows she has no choice but to leave. Now.

In this inspiring and deeply moving story of love, courage and endurance, a young woman on the run from the law sets off on a desperate journey of survival on the treacherous Oregon Trail.

Terrified she’s wanted for the murder of her landlord, Grace is certain that, even though she acted in self-defence, no one will believe her. Quickly packing the few belongings she and her little brother Tom possess, they race to join the line of dusty wagons preparing to leave for Oregon.

As they set off, over the perilous Great Plains, knowing the wild rivers and the Rocky Mountains they must cross, Grace vows to do whatever it takes to protect Tom and get them both to safety. She will prove herself capable of surviving the hardest journey of her life.

This unputdownable and heart-wrenching historical novel shows the true strength and resilience of a woman’s heart, even when she has everything to lose and the odds are stacked against her. Fans of Kristin Hannah, Amy Harmon and Olivia Hawker will lose themselves in To the Wild Horizon.

Interesting story told at a great pace.

The characters voices ruined a great story. The Narrator work could use a lot of work.

Not very good

I LOVE Oregon Trail stories, but this is a very juvenile story and probably best for teenagers, even with the very brief sex scenes. There are very non descript rape encounters as well. Overall the book was very general and very predictable. The narration was so bad for the male characters that it was almost intolerable. The female characters sounded very very young. I kept thinking that perhaps the book itself was better written than it came across, but with the narration so bad it is hard to say.
Would NOT recommend buying this book, even though it is a subject I love - I feel like I wasted a credit.
But this happens when there aren't any reviews to rely upon.. so I will be the first.
