Dream Fulfilled

Lizzie’s parents dreamed of owning their own land in Oregon, but now they were gone, and it was up to Lizzie to lead the family to the West. Armed only with her father’s guidebook and Bible, she packs up her younger brother and sister and heads west. The year was 1853, a time in history when pioneers were flocking over the Oregon Trail in search of riches. Lizzie knew that the trail west would be hard and fraught with danger, but the dangers and trials that she would face would threaten to break her. As she battles to survive life on the trail, she finds herself faced with a choice. Will Lizzie choose the rich life of a gambler’s woman, or the sweet love of a cowboy? A Dream Fulfilled takes Lizzie across the expanse of unsettled country, leading her through dark valleys in pursuit of a dream. “A Dream Fulfilled is a delightful read. Wagon trains are a favorite setting of mine. Not many romances tackle this tough era. Cynthia Hickey captures the history admirably. The danger of life on the trail is portrayed well and true to life. Many died along the way. Expect such realism in this book. I had a hard time putting Lizzie and William’s story down.” - RoundTableReviews
