The Saddle Club is heading west--on the Oregon Trail. They are taking part in a re-creation of the famous wagon train ride across the American West. Things may be a little easier for these modern-day pioneers, but they still have their fair share of problems to face. Stevie has to drive their wagon--and wear a dress! She isn't sure which is worse. Lisa, meanwhile, has to contend with a reluctant cow who really doesn't want to walk across the prairie. Even Carole is finding those long days in the saddle a little more than she bargained for.
The slightly true narrative of how a brave pioneer father brought apples, pears, plums, grapes, and cherries (and children) across the plains. Apples, ho! When Papa decides to pull up roots and move from Iowa to Oregon, he can’t bear to leave his precious apple trees behind. Or his peaches, plums, grapes, cherries, and pears. Oh, and he takes his family along too. But the trail is cruel. First there’s a river to cross that’s wider than Texas, then there are hailstones as big as plums, and then there’s even a drought, sure to crisp the cherries. Luckily Delicious (the nonedible apple of Daddy’s eye) won’t let anything stop her father’s darling saps from tasting the sweet Oregon soil. A hilarious tall tale from the team that brought you Fannie in the Kitchen that’s loosely based on the life of a real fruiting pioneer.

Except this year he and his parents moved to a new place, and Grandpa's back home. As the boy sets out on a new mountain trail with his parents, he begins to worry about everything that's different. But he remembers that when Grandpa needs to calm his worries, he uses mindfulness. So the boy does too.
January, 1852. Dan Forbes leads a wagon train westward to San Francisco, California, from St. Louis, Missouri. Dan has successfully led previous mid-winter trips. Unbeknownst to Dan, this trip will be quite different. Dan leads the pioneers westward and provides protection from Indians and outlaws, but the elements present a factor that Dan can't control. A blizzard strikes, and the wagon train is caught. The ordeal that follows tests the courage of the human spirit when faced with adversity. Faith in God proves to be their lifeline during the mammoth snowstorm. Their delivery from the blizzard is nothing short of miraculous. The Cheyenne Indians become part of this miracle in a most amazing way. Dan's relationship with the remarkable widow, Sara Johnson, grows amidst these challenging circumstances. C. Gordon Wilson lives in the suburban Maryland area with his wife, Lisa. They have been married twenty-six years, and are long-time members of Fourth Presbyterian Church. Gordon has had a lifelong interest in reading and writing. He graduated from Duke University, with honors, garnering a Bachelor of Arts degree in English. He then embarked on a nine-year teaching career. Working with his students, he developed and refined his own writing abilities, helping to prepare him to write his first novel, Blizzard of the Millennium. Gordon has also been a high school varsity basketball referee for twenty-two years. He has worked in the printing business and as a research analyst for fifteen years. Gordon hopes his book will inspire his readers to walk by faith and to find encouragement and godly examples of perseverance in its pages.
