Reunion

Joe Beck, Book 2

De: C.J. Petit

Narrado por: Michael Alan White

The days of unrelenting rain had kept the wagon train from moving for almost a week, and the folks were getting frustrated and angry. So, rather than try to cross the swollen Platte River, the wagon master had them rolling southwest hoping to cross when its level dropped. As Joe and Faith led their tent-cart ahead of the lead wagon, they didn’t allow the foul weather to affect their good mood. But it wasn’t Mother Nature who would soon cause them grief. A few days’ ride behind them, two men were following the deep ruts left behind by the wagons. Ed and Jeremy Quimby had abandoned their older brother’s farm to avoid being conscripted and had no idea that their tall, younger cousin was with the wagon train. When they finally reached the wagons, the unexpected family reunion wasn’t going to be a joyous affair.
