<DIV><DIV><B>In the wake of family tragedy, an Indiana farmer heads west on the Santa Fe Trail in an &ldquo;intense and emotionally stirring saga&rdquo; of the frontier (<I>Booklist</I>, starred review).</B><BR /><BR /> In spring of 1858, Thompson Grey, a young farmer, travels to his father&rsquo;s estate seeking funds to expand his holdings. Far overstaying his visit, he returns home to find that his absence has contributed to a devastating family tragedy. Haunted by remorse, Thompson abandons his farm and begins a westward exile in the attempt to outpace his grief. Unwittingly, he finds himself at journey&rsquo;s end in the one place where his strongest temptations are able to overtake him and once again put him to the test.<BR /><BR /> Set against the backdrop of the frontier during the years just preceding the Civil War, <I>Crossing Purgatory </I>is a beautifully scripted and powerful story of unprincipled ambition, guilt, and the price one man is willing to pay for atonement.</DIV><DIV>&#160;</DIV></DIV><DIV>&#160;</DIV><DIV>&#160;</DIV>
