Popular romance and historical fiction novelist Gilbert Morris finds new
inspiration along the Oregon Trail in Angel Train. In this mid-1800s tale,
sheltered heroine Charity Morgan is part of The Pilgrim Way, a devout
community that loses its Pennsylvania homestead to economic recession and
the ravages of cholera.
To survive, Charity’s prison warden uncle allows criminals to lead her and the
religious group on a dangerous journey to the West where free land is aplenty.
And although The Pilgrim Way won’t allow courtship on the trail, Charity is
nevertheless drawn to Brodie Hardin, the spiritually frustrated wagon master
who claims he was falsely accused of committing a crime. Still, it may take
both tragedy and divine intervention to bring these two opposites together.
