About this audiobook
Following the death of their parents, twenty-four-year-old Sunniva Lyndall and her younger brother, Tracy, leave the comforts and safety of their Ohio Valley home to travel west to California, With excitement, determination, and the money they received from the sale of the family farm, they head for Missouri and the wagon train that will take them west. But Sunny and her brother quickly learn the ways of the West the hard way when a con-man swindles them out of their money. Without means to buy supplies, California seems out of the question. But being stuck in Missouri is not what Sunny had planned for their future. Employment with the Pony Express seems to be the only available option. With Tracy as express rider and Sunny as station manager, it looks like they will soon earn enough to resume their journey. But unplanned adventure in the saddle of the Express awaits Sunny with the greatest challenge of her young life. Will her strong spirit be enough to see her through -- or is the happiness that California promised a dream that will never be fulfilled?

Reviews for A Distant Dawn
3 ratings1 review
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5"A Distant Dawn" is the first book I've read by author Jane Pert. I can see why she was so successful. She took the typical story of a young woman who sold everything to go to California but got swindoled before she got past Missouri and turned it into a lively tale of courage, hard work, and discovered love. I highly recommend it.
