From Where I Sat (fiction, in development, 2021)
Escaping the Civil War is extra hard when one’s family is tied up in political schemes. To avoid the next round of drafts, a grand plan brings four families from Pella, Iowa together for the greatest adventure of their lives on the Overland-California trail. Between the endless starry nights and daytime gunfights with menacing Indians, Mrs. Sarah Rousseau logs the wagon train’s progress in her pocket diary. As a wheelchair-bound woman, she’s not able to help when supplies run low and desperate choices must be made before they reach the snow-covered Sierra Nevadas standing between them and their California dreams. All she can do is write down what happens next.
