A Heart for Any Fate

by Linda Crew

A Heart for Any Fate Cover

 

Staff Pick

A well-written, non-glamorized Oregon trail story told by seventeen-year old Lovisa, who can't wait to get started on the adventure of a lifetime. A Heart for Any Fate is based on the real King family who settled in Oregon after barely surviving the infamous Meeker shortcut. Many places in Portland and western Oregon are named for them. This book won the Oregon Book Award for Young Adult Literature.

Book News Annotation:

Crew relies on trail journals and her own family history to imagine the emotional lives of her characters as they traverse the Oregon Trail. Most of the pioneers central to her story are based on real people and Crew weaves the few known facts of their lives into this harrowing tale of their journey west. Distributed by the University of Washington Press.
