Product Description
From Library Journal
In the conclusion to the popular "Ribbons West" trilogy (Westward the Dream, Separate Roads), Jordana Baldwin yearns to travel since her sister Victoria is now happily married and settled down. When her letters home are picked up by an Eastern newspaper under the byline "J. Baldwin," she seizes her chance to go undercover investigating the competition between the Union Pacific and the Central Pacific Railroads as they race to complete the first transcontinental railway. In disguise, Jordana takes to the rails as her fictitious brother "Joe" and soon runs into an old friend, Capt. Rich O'Brian. As Jordana struggles with her newfound feelings for Rich, he is tormented by his first wife's death and vows never to care so deeply for another. By placing their faith in God, Jordana and Rich find a common ground. Though the premise of the beautiful Jordana passing herself off as a man is too much of a stretch, fans of the series will enjoy this wrap up.

The book i think was the best of all three. Really, it helps to know that the authors believe in God and that they can weave him into a book. You could almost make it an adventure book and a religious one too and that is what makes me feel good reading this book. This also ties it up and that way you won't have to wait for them to make the next one which i hate to wait. But this is an excellent book and i would recommend it to anyone.

The story is set around the Transcontinental Railroad events. It is a story that is truly enhanced through a bit of Internet searching. Maps to following Jordana's rail riding adventures. Images, drawings of initial snow sheds, etc. bring enlightenment and the actual awesome structural achievements of the Central Pacific story. Such moments spent increase reader's interest in the story!!!
