Ben must choose: Take a dream job or follow his family into danger on the Oregon Trail.

Ben Carlisle's longtime dream has been to travel west with his family. When he is offered a newspaper job in Detroit, he is forced to question whether moving west is really God's will for him.

Can he risk the life of one of his best friends, or face an old enemy head-on? What price will he have to pay just to make his writing live?
