Gone West — Kathleen Karr

Johnny and Maggie Stuart, booksellers par excellence, are vibrantly young and full of faith as they begin their two-thousand-mile journey West to dispense the Word and their own special brand of love in the untamed wilderness.

Ever the dreamer, Johnny must learn to forsake his books for reality as they encounter rain-swollen rivers, sudden tradegy, and the fierce Indians of the Plains.

But it is Maggie of the fire-red hair and the nurturing spiit who must teach him the most important lesson of all-that the language of love is written on the heart.
