It is 1885 and Annalisa Campo is a teacher when the love of her life, Alex, immigrates to America. After she decides she cannot refuse his invitation to join him in the land of opportunity, Annalisa accepts her uncle's generous offer to pay for her passage to Oregon. As soon she boards the ship, Annalisa's adventures begin. After she is befriended by the widowed ship's captain, Annalisa becomes a victim of food poisoning and thieves. While her beauty attracts both savory and unsavory characters, her heart and empathetic nature draw friends into her life as she arrives in America. But when Alex becomes more controlling than she'd like, Annalisa's path soon crosses with Elijah, a young Indian all too familiar with hardship and loss. In his darkest moment, he meets a mentor who encourages him to honor his native customs and traditions. As he embodies the spirit of the protector, his devotion to Annalisa, and hers to him, arouses passion and binds their destinies. But will it be enough to survive an unthinkable tragedy and keep them together forever? In this historical tale, a young woman immigrates to America during the late nineteenth century where she finds love, inner-strength, and a new beginning.
