A Light in the Wilderness

Fiction

“Jane Kirkpatrick’s ability to probe the human spirit makes One Glorious Ambition a soaring novel of love, compassion, and duty.”

Across the Crying Sands

Fiction

“Jane Kirkpatrick’s writing evokes a powerful sense of the challenges and strengths of women who settled the West. In Across the Crying Sands, she affectionately tells of a remarkable woman who longed for adventure and did not allow the restrictions of her time to keep her from finding it. Kirkpatrick’s sense of time and place and her understanding of the trials of women of another century have made her one of the West’s most beloved writers.”

One More River to Cross

Fiction

“Jane Kirkpatrick has turned a scrap of history into a story of courageous women strong enough to meet the challenges of nature—and of men. Starting with a footnote about a group of pioneers in 1844 caught in snows of the California Sierra, Kirkpatrick weaves a tale of extraordinary women (oh, and a few men too) who fight blizzards and starvation to save those they love.”

The Memory Weaver

Fiction

“Storyteller Jane Kirkpatrick puts flesh and blood on the bones of history. In The Memory Weaver, she breathes life into the little-known tale of Eliza Spalding, daughter of the famed missionaries, who survives unspeakable horrors to become a woman of love and faith and strength. Set against an authentic nineteenth-century background, this is a superb story of a woman’s struggle to triumph over time and place. The Memory Weaver is a memorable book.”
