About This Book
In the spring of 1815, Remembrance "Mem" Nye and her family set off in a covered wagon from their farm in Connecticut to the wilderness of western New York. Mem and her mother see it as a journey to nowhere, since there won't be any houses or neighbors, just endless forest. Their travels bring the perils of wild animals, raging storms, and cruel strangers. When Mem is unexpectedly separated from her family, she must face every danger alone until she finds them again.
