WOW, this is the first book I've read by this author and I absolutely loved it! I received an ARC copy from NetGalley and looked forward to reading this story every night. My favorite genres are historical fiction and suspense/thrillers and this was a refreshing story covering a fresh time period for me. The book takes place in the 1850s as families make their way west in covered wagons. It's such a well-written book shining light on the struggles of the pioneers and the native americans in this period of change and survivial. I was all-in with the main characters: John Lowry, "two feet" - a man who sticks to his promises, beliefs, and loves and forgives with all his heart, and Naomi, a young widow who is spunky, determined, and knows what she wants - John. This is a book I'll read again. It was fantastic! keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen

"The Overland Trail, 1853: Naomi May never expected to be widowed at twenty. Eager to leave her grief behind, she sets off with her family for a life out West. On the trail, she forms an instant connection with John Lowry, a half-Pawnee man straddling two worlds and a stranger in both. But life in a wagon train is fraught with hardship, fear, and death. Even as John and Naomi are drawn to each other, the trials of the journey and their disparate pasts work to keep them apart. John's heritage gains them safe passage through hostile territory only to come between them as they seek to build a life together. When a horrific tragedy strikes, decimating Naomi's family and separating her from John, the promises they made are all they have left. Ripped apart, they can't turn back, they can't go on, and they can't let go. Both will have to make terrible sacrifices to find each other, save each other, and eventually ... make peace with who they are."--Provided by publisher. Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |

While the trip is difficult and dangerous, John and Naomi are drawn to each other and John, who was planning on returning to Missouri decides to continue on to California with Naomi’s family. At Fort Bridger they are separated while John purchases a wagon and supplies. He plans to catch up with the wagon train in a few days. Unfortunately while separated, tragedy strikes when Indians attack. Naomi is taken and John vows to get her back.
This story of adventure and survival immediately drew me in and although I didn’t always agree with the decisions that Naomi made, the story certainly tugged at my emotions. The author describes the difficulty of pioneer life and I was interested to discover at the end of the book that many of these characters are based on real people. The slow burning romance, the hardships encountered and the hope for a better future combined to make Where the Lost Wander a memorable read. ( )
