Fifteen-year-old Damaris can no longer tolerate the sorrow and pain that accompanies her father's drunken rages. With only the love of her mother, her grandmother's golden brooch, her grandfather's watch, and the knowledge that her name comes from the Bible, Damaris catches the first train wagon west. As she struggles to find her meaning in life and a way out of feeling so alone, Damaris finds herself new friends to help heal her memories of an abusive childhood and help her find a way to God. Janette Oke, paperback, 219 pages.
