Yet, the Shultzes’ trek becomes more difficult and tragic than they could have imagined, beginning as early as onboard the ship itself. The family are forced to face loss, outlaws, and poverty before finding their new homes. With each trial, however, the Shutlzes also find hope, love, friendship, and new communities as they make their way to the prairie homeland.

About the Author:

Quinn Graw is an author living near his hometown of Manning, Alberta in Canada. He is a published author of one novel, Transforming Into Eternity. As well he has self-published three poetry books: The Spring Rain, Time Cube: Echoes of Yesterday's Highway, and Abba, My Father. He spent several years in the local Toastmasters Club in Manning, which he enjoyed a lot. Quinn has taken an interest in family history after turning fifty and not just because of the rise and accessibility of DNA testing. After being contacted by a second cousin from Calgary, Quinn received a large amount of information with regards to his mother's side of the family which had been missing up to that point in time. Reading, collecting postcards from Postcrossing, acrylic painting, card games, and board games are other interests that Quinn enjoys to pursue.
