Fortune's Journey

ebook

On the Oregon trail, a theater troupe strives to reach California
After months in the cramped confines of a Conestoga wagon, Fortune Plunkett is dreaming of the life she left behind in Charleston. It was her father's dream to lead his band of actors to California, but he died on the trail. Fortune's only inheritance is a trunk of old costumes, a handful of plays, and a passionate drive to reach the Pacific Ocean, no matter what hardships she might endure along the way.

At the time of her father's death, the actors were heading toward an engagement in the little town of Busted Heights—a place that held a fascination for Fortune's father that he never explained. There Fortune meets the greenhorn Jamie Halleck, a naive young man who convinces her to let him join the group. With Jamie onboard, they hit the trail again, ready to reach California and find their destiny.

This ebook features an illustrated personal history of Bruce Coville including rare images from the author's collection.
