Jane Kirkpatrick

Powell's Books at Cedar Hills Crossing 3415 SW Cedar Hills Blvd, Beaverton

In 1844, two years before the Donner Party, the Stevens-Murphy company left Missouri to be the first wagons into California through the Sierra Nevada Mountains. Mostly Irish Catholics, the party sought religious freedom and education in the mission-dominated land and enjoyed a safe journey – until October, when a heavy snowstorm forced difficult decisions. Based on true events, One More River to Cross (Revell) is a compelling survival story full of grit and endurance by novelist Jane Kirkpatrick.
