Women West is a wild, wild, west story that takes place on the Oregon Trail in the 1860s. It has love, adventure, and dangerous situations that will keep one up all night. It is an engaging story that shows the physical strength and resolve of 6 very strong, purposeful and fascinating women. Early on: Martha hears something in the horse-barn. The hired hand now turned abductor is crouched in a dark corner waiting for his prey. He lunges at her and tries to wrestle her to the floor. Seventeen-year-old Martha defends herself against the would be rapist with a pitchfork. "Get away from me you bastard!" She stabs at him. Terrified, Martha feels she must run away. Will the attacker follow her, or did he die? She outfits her grandfather's Conestoga wagon with a mule team and then must learn how to be a "mule skinner". She heads for Missouri to join a wagon train that will guide her along the Oregon trail. Along the way, she is joined by other women who have also experienced abuse. All of the women get to tell their incredible stories as they build friendships, trust, compassion, and learn how to love again. These six women prove to be tremendously courageous as they fight off Indians, find and kill fresh food, and keep their wagons upright crossing flooded rivers. At last, love finds these women and six of the most incredible love stories unfold. Even after Martha's mother tells her she is too ugly and too tall to attract a man, she comes up with the ultimate catch!
