Embark on a true adventure through the eyes of a child who sailed, rode, and walked it (portrayed in the motion picture, 17 Miracles). Nine-year-old Agnes hopes for a better life in the USA-but will she survive the journey to her new home?

Leaving her brother in Scotland (her father already lost at sea), brave Agnes sails with her Scottish-Irish mother and siblings to New York in 1856. They travel by train to the edge of the Western Frontier in Iowa then walk west 1,200 miles with little food. Somewhere near the Continental Divide, Agnes's shoes wear out. In blizzard conditions, she must now cross the Rocky Mountains-barefoot.
