Bookroo's summary

In 1815, young Mem Nye embarks on a perilous journey from Connecticut to the wilds of New York. Facing untamed forests, fierce storms, and menacing strangers, Mem is unexpectedly separated from her family. Alone in the vast wilderness, she must summon courage and resilience to survive and reunite with her loved ones. Will she find her way back, or will the dangers of the frontier prove too great? Mem's adventure is a gripping tale of survival and hope in an unforgiving land.

From the publisher

In the spring of 1815, Remembrance -Mem- Nye and her family set off in a covered wagon from their farm in Connecticut to the western New York wilderness. Mem and her mother see it as a journey to nowhere since there won’t be any houses or neighbors, just endless forest. Their journey is filled with the uncertain danger of wild animals, raging storms, and cruel strangers. When Mem is unexpectedly separated from her family, she must face every danger alone while hoping to find her family again.
