--Follow the Oregon Trail in a sweeping western historical romance featuring an iconic cowboy and a woman with secrets-- KIT AUSTEN'S JOURNEY takes readers on the arduous trip west in 1851 when fortune seekers raced to take advantage of the California gold rush. But for Kit Austen, the passage is a journey away from danger, rather than toward treasure. When she joins trail captain Daniel Winchester's company, she finds both. First, the perils of the journey-especially for a single woman-try her body as well as her spirit. And then, her growing admiration and affection for Daniel test her determination to stay true to her marriage vows, even though they'd been made to a villain. Daniel, too, struggles with his attraction to Kit. A taciturn man with his own deep sorrows, he knows she deceived him to join the company, but doesn't know why. As he faces the journey's familiar risks, he's confronted with a new danger-losing his heart to the strong but secretive Kit. KIT AUSTEN'S JOURNEY offers readers a story of faith, heartbreak and love on the Oregon Trail...told by a multi-published author whose historical research has been praised by critics and readers alike. ________ ABOUT THE AUTHOR Libby Sternberg is the author of young adult mystery, women's fiction and historical fiction.

The Book Binge -- Wow... Ms. Sternberg has a winner in this novel ... She writes beautiful, tortured characters, puts you right in the time frame and crafts an amazing story around all of it. Wonderful job and a wonderful book... My Reading Room -- Though Sternberg does rely on the framework of Charlotte Brontë's tale for SLOANE HALL, it is nevertheless an original story with complex character development... one cannot accuse Sternberg of having borrowed shamelessly; she knows how to develop and tell a story and she does it well...Sternberg's novel is a refreshing tale, one that borrows bits and parts from JANE EYRE, but that stands squarely on its own.
