Summary The journey West by wagon train promises to be long and arduous for nineteen-year-old Mary Ann Graves and her parents and eights siblings. But she is hopeful about their new life in California, and the possibility of freedom from family demands. But when winter comes early to the Sierra Nevada, the Graves family, traveling alongside the Donner and Reed families, undergoes one of the most harrowing experiences in American history.
