Seeking a better life, Sarah's parents decide they will venture west on the Oregon Trail.

But the journey will be worth it if they can find fortune in California. Will Sarah and her family endure the trail and make a new life out west? Nonfiction material on the Oregon Trail, a glossary, discussion questions, and writing prompts are also provided.
