In the first book, readers are introduced to the Brown family. In 1851, the Brown family of New Rochelle, Pennsylvania underwent many difficulties. Jeremiah Brown, the town minister, traveled west to help his sister. When Jeremiah, his sister and her husband disappeared, Josephine, his daughter, went in search of him. Disguised as a man for her own protection, she traveled all alone on horseback to Missouri. When she reached her destination, people thought she was a preacher by her demeanor, and offered her the job of reopening the small church. It was something she had always wanted to do, but couldn't as a woman with the societal restraints. During her time searching for her family, she faced her own fears and found her first love. In this sequel, Josephine's Journey Continues, Josephine Brown just returned home from an adventure of a lifetime, only to find herself embroiled in another. Resolved to circumvent social conventions of the mid-1800's to attain her goal, will her latest undertaking be worth the risk? Will she attain the life she so strongly desires, win the man she loves or lose it all? What does God have in store for Josephine's Journey?

The year is 1851, and a young man travels the frontier trails searching for his family. Look closely, however, and you might realize this young man is actually twenty-one-year-old Josephine "Jo" Brown, daughter of a Pennsylvanian minister. Jo longs to be a minister like her father, but by the societal rules of the day, she's "just a woman." Even so, when her family disappears on the Western frontier, Jo sets out to find them.Dressing as a man offers Jo safe passage, and her bearing and attitude mirror her strong Christian beliefs-so much so that when she reaches her destination, the townsfolk offer her a ministry position in their small church.In dire need of money, Jo accepts the position, hoping it's part of God's plan. As she continues her search, it becomes apparent that an avaricious land baron has something to do with her family's disappearance. Jo's also strongly attracted to the local sheriff, but can't make her feelings known-at least not while she's wearing a minister's suit.Josephine's Journey introduces readers to Jo, a self-reliant, determined woman with an unshakable belief in God's ability to help her overcome the impossible.
