Our Wagon Train’s One Special Christmas Eve Along The Oregon Trail is a beautiful story about a young woman traveling west on a wagon train. She looks after the children and others before she does herself, but always tries to write in her journal. It’s her way of talking to God. During the trip they all have to contend with one bad apple, the weather setting in, and the splitting up of the wagon train because of a child’s injuries and need for rest. It all comes to a head one Christmas eve towards the end of their journey when they come to realize once again, what the evening really means.
