I’ve often wondered what life must have been like for people
who traveled in a wagon train headed west. I don’t have to wonder anymore,
because Mona Hodgson has given me a glimpse into the lives of those brave
pioneers. Folks filled with regret for the family, friends and possessions they
were leaving behind, overshadowed by an excited hope for their future – the
promise of a new beginning out West.
Prairie Song lets us walk the trail along with young Anna
Goben, who is hoping that the Promised Land of Californian will be just what it
takes to pull her mother and grandfather from their grief over the loss of
Anna’s brother. Anna is gutsy and determined to keep her mother’s secret while
doing her best to keep her sober and help her grandfather regain his zest for
life. She’s just as determined to squelch
her growing interest in trail hand, Caleb Reger.
Caleb clashes with that feisty little redhead, Anna Goben
before they ever hit the trail. She’s independent, beautiful, and trouble as
far as he’s concerned. Besides, Caleb has other things on his mind. Like Jonah
from the Bible, he’s running from God’s calling on his life and his past
failures. He’s hoping that five long hard months on the trail just might help
him outrun his past.
But God has his own plans for Caleb and Anna. This adventure
will take the though trials, tragedy and the discovery that God’s plans truly
do include a hope for the future that neither of them ever dreamed of.
