The novel also tells the story of the people they meet along the way, including a young woman named Patsy who helps the Stamper family find a place to stay, and a white man named Bob who helps them find work. The novel culminates with the Stamper family's arrival in Oregon, where they find themselves faced with the same challenges they faced when they first arrived in the United; 8vo; 373 pages.
