Where the Lost Wander

Set against the brutal backdrop of the 1853 Overland Trail, "Where the Lost Wander" tells the epic and poignant love story of Naomi May and John Lowry. Widowed at twenty, Naomi seeks a new life out West with her family, only to find an instant, undeniable connection with John, a half-Pawnee man caught between two cultures. Their journey west is fraught with unimaginable hardship, fear, and loss, testing the very limits of their endurance. John's unique heritage initially offers them safe passage through treacherous lands, yet it later becomes a source of conflict as they strive to build a life together. When a horrific tragedy strikes, ripping Naomi's family apart and separating her from John, their promises become the only tether in a world turned upside down. Forced to make agonizing sacrifices, they must each find the strength to survive, to reconnect, and ultimately, to make peace with their own identities amidst the vast, unforgiving wilderness.
