One of the incidents that made a profound impression upon the minds of all: the meeting of eleven wagons returning and not a man left in the entire train; all had died, and been buried on the way, and the women returning alone.-from the journals of Ezra Meeker, 1852
Their lives would be tempered by adversity, expanded by faith, polished by perseverance.
For Madison "Mazy" Bacon, a young wife living in southern Wisconsin, the future appears every bit as promising as it is reassuringly predictable. A loving marriage, a well-organized home, the pleasure of planting an early spring garden--these are the carefully-tended dreams that sustain her heart and nourish her soul.
But when her husband of two years sells the homestead and informs her that they are heading west, Mazy's life is ripped down the middle like a poorly mended sheet forgotten in a midwestern storm. Her love is tried, her boundaries stretched, and the fabric of her faith tested. At the same time, she and eleven extraordinary women are pulled toward an uncertain destiny--one that binds them together through reluctance and longing and into acceptance and renewal.
Based on an actual 1852 Oregon Trail incident, All Together in One Place, Book One in the Kinship and Courage series, speaks to the strength in every woman and celebrates the promise of hope that unfailingly blooms amidst tragedy and challenge.

I read this several years ago and for the life of me couldn't remember what it was called. I haven't been able to get my hands on the rest of the series, but was told they're just as good. Kirkpatrick is a great Christian author who really understands the ins and outs of women. Even though this book takes place back in the pioneer days, the principles apply today. It's such a great story of female unity, of empowerment, of surviving, of thriving even. It reminded me that it is so much easier inThis is the 1st in the Kinship and Courage series of inspirational historical fiction by Jane Kirkpatrick. The idea for the story came from a copy of Ezra Meeker's "Ox Team Days on the Oregon Trail" and a short paragraph relates an encounter in 1852 of eleven wagons heading east, all driven by women, their men having died and been buried on the trail. The author, after much research, has fleshed out what might have happened.The story begins in Wisconsin when Jeremy Bacon, without consulting with
The Kinship and Courage Trilogy: Book 1 is All Together in One Place, Book 2 is No Eye Can See; Book 3 is What Once We Knew. I was captivated during each one, hardly able to put them down. I awoke early, stayed up late. (Six years later, I am equally enthusiastic about this series). Historically accurate, with vivid details, dynamic characters, deep themes, real conflict! Because I read them one after another, what I've written below applies to the trilogy, thus the length. Kirkpatrick seems to
I wrote this book. I hope you like it!
Series Kinship and Courage, book #1 "All together in one Place" by Jane KirkpatrickI like reading the stories of wagon trains going west and the hardships that forges such friendships among the people.This one had a lot of hardships and a disease the ravished the men til their were only women left to carry on. You will enjoy how these women share the responsibilities and take that wagon train "All the way to its destination".
I am surprised at the low reviews. This is one of my favorite books! I don't read many more than once but I will this one! I felt like it made me understand more of how things were back then. I figured everyone knew that going on a wagon trail and settling in the west was hard for everyone so I wasn't surprised about the hardships. I completely enjoyed this book
