1. BETH'S JOURNEY. Published by Word Association @ $9.95. ISBN - I-59571-093-0.
Beth's Journey is a tale of courage and strength of the human spirit. In a writing style that is clean, simple, and beautifully authentic, writer Peggy Williamson's narrator is Beth herself. Beth, a seventeen year old girl who came of age on the family homestead in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia, loses both parents by the time she is seventeen years old. Orphaned, she and her sixteen year old brother, Newitt, decide to join a wagon train heading for Oregon in the hope of joining their uncle who had settled there earlier. Beth and Newitt, who were taught well by their parents, are up to the challenges of the rugged trail westward. And Williamson provides readers with well-researched and vividly depicted details of the rigors and dangers faced by pioneers who traversed the continent. Heat, storms, exhaustion, and illness plague the travelers but it is a brutal Indian attack that ultimately tests Beth to the limits of her endurance, Beth's Journey is a fresh look at our American experience and a tribute to our heritage.
