Description
Join author Anne Schroeder for a special presentation on her book, Walk the Promise Road. This novel tells the story of Mary Rodgers , a young woman who lost everything—or so she believes. Her entire family has been struck down with influenza, leaving her alone in the world—except for her cousin Philip. But Philip is bound for Oregon to meet up with his fiancée, who’s waiting for him. Though Mary begs him to take her with him on the Oregon Trail, he resists. What would people think?
Mary’s plan is simple. They already share a last name. They will pose as husband and wife. The wagon master is a firm man—and if he finds out the truth, he’ll force them to marry, dashing Philip’s dreams of a life with Laurel. But Mary promises it will be their secret, and Philip can’t leave her behind after all she’s lost.
Gain insight into this captivating story from the author, Anne Schroeder.
