The Divide — C.J. Petit

After finally crossing the South Platte River, the wagon train headed north toward Lodge Pole Cree where they expected to find another set of ruts leading west to Oregon.As he and Faith led their tent-cart away from Julesburg, Joe wondered if he wasn't defying fate by leaving Colorado behind. The magnetic attraction that had pulled him south hadn't diminished. But he still felt an obligation to the folks, even those who would never consider him a friend.He and Faith still had no idea what lay ahead of them or where they would end their journey. But wherever it was, as long as they were together, it would be home.
