Set in 1876 in the splendour of British Columbia and the mountains of Utah, this is the story of Holly and Jason Smith , two orphaned children stranded in the wilderness after their grandfather's death. Tenaciously they decide to trek westward to claim the only thing left to their name - a plot of land in the State of Oregon. Unlikely friendships, great obstacles and the dangers of the wild face them as they make their way across the Rockies

On tours of Australia, New Zealand and Canada and at engagements here at home she captivated millions. Narrator
