Where the Lost Wander
349 pages · First published 2020
Naomi May is traveling west with her family on the Oregon Trail when tragedy and violence reshape the journey she expected. John Lowry, a half-Pawnee man caught between cultures, becomes closely connected to Naomi as the wagon company moves through country where survival depends on weather, water, animals, and relationships with Indigenous peoples. Love grows amid grief, prejudice, and the relentless practical demands of migration. Amy Harmon’s historical novel combines an overland-trail romance with loss, cultural identity, and the human cost of westward expansion.
