Brand New Release from B. E. Baker
“A mesmerizing work, literarily impressive and historically exacting.” – Kirkus
In 1847, the Donner party resorted to eating human flesh to survive entrapment at the base of the Sierra Nevada mountains. They became infamous almost instantly, with hundreds of books, stories, and interviews exploring their misery. None of them tell the extraordinary story from the first-person point of view of the female survivors. Until now.
Three women yearned to make better lives in California…
By the time these women and the rest of the party reached the Sierra Nevada mountains after taking an unproven “shortcut,” they were already two months late. They had lost people, oxen, mules, and livestock they couldn’t survive without. Then the snow began to fall.
