Katie Rose has lost her family to cholera and now lives with neighbors who want a housemaid, not a daughter. When her guardian buys a wild mustang stallion, he is sure he will be able to master the stallion--but he is wrong. Katie and the horse--both lost, lonely and sad, form a bond over time. Katie is determined to save both their lives. The four book set details the entire journey west, giving young readers a real sense of what it was like to go overland from Iowa to Oregon by covered wagon. The story of love and respect will touch readers young and old.
