John Prior, his wife Jenny and their adopted daughter Mary are part of a small wagon train heading to Oregon. While most of the men were in the woods chopping wood, the train was attacked and Jenny and Mary, along with another woman and child were taken captive. Jenny is considered quite the prize due to her flaming red hair and becomes the fifth wife of Ottowa, an Oglala chief. While her husband John begins his search to recover his wife and daughter, Jenny faces other dangers at the camp of the Sioux and is in constant fear of losing her life.
Desperate Journey was a quick read but there were discrepancies and some historical inaccuracies so not a book that I can recommend.
