Toni is longing to put her past behind, a life of prostitution, and begin life anew out west. But even on the wagon train, sheltered by a few friends and protected by the master of the wagon train and his scout, she is persecuted by the others on the train as well as people from her past who show up to torment her. Toni seeks forgiveness, but is unsure if she deserves it. Her quest for forgiveness and peace is the thrust of this tale. Wrapped around this theme is a interesting story of the dangers in traveling west in a wagon train. A good story that will capture your interest.
