While unhappy at the idea of never again seeing her ill mother, her best friend, and the grave of her infant daughter, she cannot ignore her vow to her husband. Deep in her heart, Mary knows God will always be with them and that a fresh start will benefit their family. The Trexlers must change their plans shortly after beginning their trip west but are determined to view the unexpected detour as a blessing in disguise.
