Description
Molly didn’t know what kind of life to expect when she fell in love with Erin Herriot—her schoolmate, her best friend, and a woman. She had been grateful for Erin’s friendship when the bank swindled her after selling her parents’ farm and she was invited to live on Erin’s parents’ farm.
After making the difficult decision to live life as ‘man and wife,’ Molly gladly accepted the challenges before them. Together, they made the decision to sell Erin’s farm and embark on the journey of a lifetime…on the Oregon Trail.
Erin couldn’t give Molly children; however, she could love her forever. But leaving the area where they had both grown up and where everyone knew the women was the only way they could be together without questions about the true nature of their relationship.
Come along on their adventure as two women cross the country, adopt a family, and begin a life that neither had imagined possible growing up in the mid-1800s.

I love historical romances, and this book is one of the best lesbian historical romances that I have read. I felt as if I were right beside the characters, feeling every emotion, and being tired for them after their hard work. This is a great read for those you like that Wagons West type of story.
Laura Huff's new favorite. Highly recommended

I received a copy from the author for an honest review. I loved this book so much. It's historical fiction at it's best . The women are so real and their love so real and honest and so much like my family's love story. My great grandmother and her wife had 48 years of an epic love story that reminds me of this book. The historical details are so accurate and the supporting characters add so much as well. I will be rereading this book often and giving it as gift as well.

This book is set in the mid - 1800s. It's about two women who choose to travel west so that they can live their lives together as spouses in a time when two women could not have that kind of relationship. They have been friends since childhood and became lovers as adults. The descriptions of the travels and the lands and all the encounters along the way were phenomenal. It made me feel like I was right there with them. They were an excellent team and you could feel the love and intensity of the relationship together. I haven't read many historical romances before. I also have never read any of this author's books before. I did not want this book to end and can't wait to read the sequel!

This was a great historical fiction read! The author did an amazing job of detailing the struggle of these two women as they moved away to get married in a time when it was forbidden.
Ro F, Reviewer
This is a terrific engrossing story of two young women who grew up together and due to circumstances beyond their control ended up living together and then falling in love with one another. Because of the time in which they were living people thought it odd for two women to be living together without a husband or man in their life. The two women Molly and Erin, We're living and working on a very productive farm then made the decision to plan and move to Oregon. They live off the land and saved everything they could for their journey. Erin New she could pass for a mail. It was a very difficult time to live as a female pretending to be a Male , females were usually cheated out of money and had to deal with discrimination discrimination because of being female . As plans were getting finalized for the move, Molly very much wanted to have a child or children so they looked into the possibility of adoption. The journey they took to get their children was fascinating. Then along with all of their farm animals, provisions to start and rebuild their lives once they settled. The two women were able to pass as man and wife with their five children and they took off to meet a wagon train to go cross country. The journey from this point is absolutely fascinating to read as it was full of adventure and much hardship. This is where the genius of Mienel's storytelling really takes off because of the detail, historical relevance, and realistic happenstances that take place. When I finish this book the characters and the details stayed with me long after the last page because I wondered what would happen next in their lives. If you like a good adventure story combined with sweet and sometimes hot love story this is the book for you.
