The Frozen Trail, a novella set in the American West, is written in a simple, clear style, making it suitable for younger readers as well as adults. In 1856 the Mormon pioneers trekked across the Great Plains in wagon trains and pulling handcarts, to find a new home safe from persecution. This is the story of one 18-year-old young woman, Emma Girdlestone, of the Willie Handcart Company, who faced starvation, frostbite, and death so she and her family could join their fellow Latter-day Saints in the Salt Lake Valley. This work of historical fiction is dedicated to the members of the Willie Handcart Company. These courageous pioneers displayed commitment and heroism in the face of unbelievably harsh and brutal conditions while en route to Zion. It is especially dedicated to Willie Handcart member, Emma Girdlestone, who left behind a legacy of bravery, fortitude, and faith; and who, 155 years later, managed to change the life of her great-great-granddaughter Lisa Dayley, the author of this book. The Willie Handcart Company endured unimaginable sorrow and tragedy, vividly shown in the novel The Frozen Trail. Lisa Dayley brings the story to life and draws you in. You'll feel how truly cold, hungry and desperate the pioneers were. Jon Schmidt, pianist and recording artist A thrill to read, Lisa Dayley crafts a genuine pioneer story with just the right mix of fact and fiction. You'll find this book hard to put down.
