In The Missouri Trail, Hope returns to Kentucky to attend her grandmothers funeral and to confront the mystery, but her odyssey to unravel the secrets of the past only brings up more questions. What are the aunts hiding? Do the cousins know more than they say they do? And why does her step-cousin Marty insist on talking about forgiveness? As the truth unfolds, Hope is forced to address her parents culpability and her own spiritual deficit. She draws strength from a legacy left her by Grandma Lilythe journal of Hopes great-great-grandmother Marys 1860 wagon journey to southwestern Missouri where her husband will find work in the lead mines. The journal becomes a road map that points Hope in a new direction and helps her make sense of Martys wise words.
