Editorial Reviews

Product Description
Cateline Fortier remembers little of the mother she lost when she was only four. In an effort to save her own history for her posterity, Cateline begins a journal that follows her remarkable journey to find her family—a journey that leads to employment on a wagon train bound for Salt Lake City in 1862. Trail life means Indians, hardship, and death, but through it all Cateline learns to love the Mormons, growing especially close to a lonely widower and his two small children. Will she be able to accept the faith of her newfound friends? And why keep a journal if her life of loneliness is to continue in Utah? My Spiritual Trail is a trek—not so much through the wilderness of the West but through the heart and hopes of an unforgettable young woman.
