In the wake of family tragedy, an Indiana farmer heads west on the Santa Fe Trail in an “intense and emotionally stirring saga” of the frontier (Booklist, starred review).

In spring of 1858, Thompson Grey, a young farmer, travels to his father’s estate seeking funds to expand his holdings. Far overstaying his visit, he returns home to find that his absence has contributed to a devastating family tragedy. Haunted by remorse, Thompson abandons his farm and begins a westward exile in the attempt to outpace his grief. Unwittingly, he finds himself at journey’s end in the one place where his strongest temptations are able to overtake him and once again put him to the test.

Set against the backdrop of the frontier during the years just preceding the Civil War, Crossing Purgatory is a beautifully scripted and powerful story of unprincipled ambition, guilt, and the price one man is willing to pay for atonement.
