  A Tale of Uncharted Adventure and Discovery Inspired by a True Story 
    
  In 1888 Mary Edwards Gerritse is a witty and confident young woman who spends as much time as possible outdoors on the rugged Oregon coast where she and her husband, John, have settled. The two are a formidable pair who are working hard to prove their homesteading claim and build a family. But as Mary faces struggles of young motherhood and questions about her family of origin, she realizes that life is far from the adventure she imagined it would be. 
    
  After losing the baby she's carrying, grief threatens Mary, but she finds an unconventional way to bring joy back into her life—by taking over a treacherous postal route. As Mary becomes the first female mail carrier to traverse the cliff-hugging mountain trails and remote Crying Sands Beach, with its changing tides and sudden squalls, she recaptures the spark she lost and discovers that a life without risk is no life at all. 
    
  "Jane Kirkpatrick's writing evokes a powerful sense of the challenges and strengths of women who settled the West."—SANDRA DALLAS, New York Times bestselling author
