About the Author

A multi-award-winning narrator, Katie Koster got her BA in theater and math from Boston College. After college, she returned to her native New York, where she developed her theatrical career and dry sense of humor by starring in The Sedarises' The Book of Liz and doing improv comedy with puppets. She lends her humor, intellect, and character variety to her narration, along with her empathy and acclaimed emotional range.

Rachel Wesson is the author of the Hearts on the Rails series, the Clover Springs Mail Order Brides series, and the Trails of the Heart books. When she is not writing, Rachel likes to spend her time reading and playing with her three kids. She lives in Dublin, Ireland.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Rachel Wesson is the author of several best selling series including her latest based on the Orphan Trains. Having always been a fan of history, Rachel tries to combine her love of history with a good story.

Rachel Wesson was born in Kilkenny, Ireland but considers herself to be from the capital, Dublin as that’s where she spent most of her life. Her dad brought Rachel and her two sisters out every Saturday to give their mother a break. He took them to the library and for ice-cream after. It took a long time for her sisters to forgive her for the hours she spent choosing her books!

She grew up driving everyone nuts asking them questions about what they did during the War or what side they were on in the 1916 rising etc. Finally her Granny told her to write her stories down so people would get the pleasure of reading them. In fact what Granny meant was everyone would get some peace while Rachel was busy writing!

When not writing, or annoying relatives, Rachel was reading. Her report cards from school commented on her love of reading especially when she should have been learning. Seems you can't read Great Expectations in Maths.

After a doomed love affair and an unpleasant bank raid during which she defended herself with a tea tray, she headed to London for a couple of years. (There is a reason she doesn’t write romance!). She never intended staying but a chance meeting with the man of her dreams put paid to any return to Ireland. Having spent most of her career in the City, she decided something was missing. Working in the City is great but it’s a young person’s dream. Having three children you never see isn’t good for anyone. So she packed in the job and started writing. Thanks to her amazing readers, that writing turned into a career far more exciting and rewarding than any other.

Rachel lives in Surrey with her husband and three children, two boys and a girl. When not reading, writing or watching films for “research” purposes, Rachel likes to hang out with her family. She also travels regularly back home – in fact she should have shares in BA and Aerlingus.

This book was a pretty good story and thought that it was well layed out as far as the story line went. I liked the caricatures and thought their parts where well written and situations were more realistic then other books I've read like when Sarah. The only thing I found wrong was that every one spoke in english as if they where well educated as if they all came from predominant family's in the eastern states. No one spoke with separate accents. An example is some of the caricatures grew up in other countries, including any children, before coming to America would have spoken with accents of their countries. Bear grew up as a true Indian and would have spoken in a more halting accent being he wasn't around Americans other then when he was very young and I think his mother would have spoken her native language to him as she was an adult when she left her tribe and also not spoken english perfectly. The same thing with Walking Tall, he would not have grown up in the white mans world to speak perfect english. Even those that wouldn't have been well educated or educated at all would have spoken more with slang then perfect english.

Having been a stubborn and willful teenager, I identified with Sarah Hughes. Sarah defies her parents who have adopted her (Rick Hughes is actually her uncle) by running off with Edward Morgan. Morgan is a real spoiled boy, although he is old enough to be considered to be a man. Edward refuses to marry Sarah, even though they live together when Edward feels like it. He drinks and is a shady character. Several things befall Sarah, causing her to be miserable. Edward decides to "sell Sarah" to pay his gambling debts to a real louse named Faulkner. When Faulkner comes to take Sarah, she tries to get away but is no match for this big mean man. Bear, who has been sent by Sarah's family friend, Walking Tall, tries to stop Faulkner, but Faulkner pulls a gun on Bear intending to shoot "the Indian". Sarah throws a rock and hits Faulkner in the head which causes him to fall and hit his head on another rock and he dies. Bear gets Sarah away, and they hide in a cave after Bear is mauled by a mountain cat. They hear voices, and one is Edward Morgan. Morgan has stolen Faulkner's gold and killed a whore in the process and is on the run. Morgan is then killed by another wild cat and dies an agonizing death just outside the cave. Morgan's friends catch up with Sarah and Bear, they they get away after Sarah uses Morgan's gun to shoot and kill one of them and injure the other man. Walking Tall meets them, and takes Sarah home to Portland. Sarah's family is so glad to see her, and welcomes her back. They see she has grown up a lot, and don't ask many questions about Edward or what she has endured. Bear is lost to Sarah, or so she believes as he has said that as a half breed he cannot marry her. Several weeks pass when all the family gathers, including the Indian friends of the family including Walking Tall. Sarah is sad about Bear, but hopes to hear how he is. As she comes down the stairs to go meet everyone outside, Bear comes in the door. He asks her to marry him, and she says YES! They will make a home there on the ranch in their own house, but know it will not be easy for a white woman and a half breed Indian man and their children, but they love one another and Sarah's family love them unconditionally, so they hope for a happy future.

This is book five and final book I think in this series of books. The Oregon Disaster is written by Rachel Wesson and is very well written. It is about Bear and Indian that is sent to keep an eye on Sarah, who is the step daughter of Jo who story in one of the previous books. Bear saves Sarah’s life in more ways then one. Sarah ran away to merry another man, who beat her and sold her to another for payment of of money owed to him. So Sarah ran after accidentally kills him, and runs. This is the story that Sarah and Bear travel. You will enjoy this read. I sure did

Outstanding series and this book brought anger, fear and joy to me. From the first page to the end I was unable to put the book down. Having raised a very angry and stubborn teenage daughter, I definitely felt for Jo and all the tears she shed. Yes, Sarah acted like a spoiled brat; but, was she? Or did her fears and anxieties guide her. Her desire to marry a man her father didn't approve of isn't unusual. It takes some longer to "grow up" than others. A handsome and adorable young "half-breed" also needed to do some soul searching so many of my questions were answered in the usual Rachel Wesson fashion. This book brought danger to the characters and of course, I couldn't stop reading until that worry was answered. Does Sarah ever grow up? Does she ever learn about her adopted family and why things happened the way they did? What about the "half-breed", Bear? Does he keep Sarah safe and is he able to help her overcome her fears? Does he ever face his past and his anger? So many questions for the reader to discover! This book, as with the others in the series, makes me anxious to read the next book in the series! For readers that enjoy love, mystery and suspense, this is a must read!

Unlike other Oregon trail romance books, this series it's a real pleasure to read. The books don't end with the first kiss or such a nonsense. They carry on with . I love the characters, they appeared real. It's a family saga. It does have everything: adventure , love, tragedy, history and romance. All with importance of family values. Sadly , this book its a last one in the series .

I have loved all these books. The complicated plots threading through all the books, the lovable and recognisable family relationships of the main characters make one wish for more, but their stories are all told! I will revisit the author for more of her story-telling.
