Journey of Hope
About
Before the Great War came the great journey.
In 1829, 19-year-old Claire Appleton faces a choice that will define generations when her husband, Harold, dreams of a new beginning in Upper Canada. Claire must leave behind her New Brunswick home and everyone she knows to brave a 900-mile journey through wilderness and hardship in search of a better life.
As the Appletons travel by sleigh and wagon across the wilds of Colonial Canada, Claire endures illness, loss and the relentless pull between duty and survival. Her courage and endurance will shape the destiny of her descendants including the brave women of Rose’s Assignment, The Unmarriable and Angel of Mercy.
Rich in historical detail and emotional depth, Journey of Hope is a moving tale of love, perseverance and the enduring strength of the women who built lives on the untamed frontier.
Perfect for readers of Jennifer Robson, Susanna Kearsley and Kate Quinn, Melina Druga’s prequel offers a poignant glimpse into how one woman’s hope can echo through generations.
